Republic Act No. 11662 separates the Arena Blanco National High School Mampang Annex in Barangay Mampang, Zamboanga City, and converts it into an independent institution known as Mampang National High School. This separation is crucial as it grants the new school its own identity and direct operational independence, allowing for more tailored educational programs and resource allocation specific to the needs of the Mampang community.
The Act ensures a seamless transition by transferring all personnel, assets, liabilities, and records of the former annex to Mampang National High School. Furthermore, it mandates that the Secretary of Education include the school's operationalization in the Department's program, with initial funding charged against the previous annex's appropriation and continued funding to be included in the annual General Appropriations Act, ensuring long-term financial stability and development for the newly independent school.
