HB10279: AN ACT CONVERTING THE SAN LORENZO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN BARANGAY BIBINCAHAN, SORSOGON CITY, PROVINCE OF SORSOGON INTO AN INTEGRATED SCHOOL TO BE KNOWN AS THE SAN LORENZO INTEGRATED NATIONAL SCHOOL, AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
This bill proposes to convert the San Lorenzo Elementary School in Barangay Bibincahan, Sorsogon City, Sorsogon, into an integrated school to be known as the San Lorenzo Integrated National School. The conversion means that the school will offer both elementary and secondary education, providing a continuous and more accessible educational pathway for students in the area. This is significant for the local community as it centralizes educational services, potentially reducing travel burdens and increasing opportunities for students to complete their basic education in one institution, thereby promoting better educational outcomes and local development.
The operationalization of the San Lorenzo Integrated National School, including its funding, will be included in the Department of Education's program and the annual General Appropriations Act. This ensures sustained government support for the newly integrated school, covering personnel, assets, liabilities, and records transfer. The clear funding mechanism and the directive for the Secretary of Education to promulgate implementing rules and regulations within 60 days of approval signify a commitment to the prompt and effective establishment of the integrated school, which will directly benefit the students, parents, and educators in Sorsogon City.
