Won Pat is pleased that the RFP to reconstruct Simon Sanchez High School has been released. Simon Sanchez serves a large part of the island\u2019s northernmost student population but has required massive constructional repairs. Plans to revamp the 40-year-old structure have been long awaited.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been a steadfast advocate for our schools and quality education,\u201d said Won Pat.  \u201cThe news that the $100-million RFP is now out means that our students can look forward to a new school conducive to learning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Early 2014, Won Pat had introduced the bill that became Public Law 32-120, which appropriated Real Property Tax Revenues specifically for the renovation or construction of a new Simon Sanchez High School with the stipulation that unused funds go to renovating the remaining public schools.  \u201cI\u2019m thrilled that this project is being fulfilled,\u201d said Won Pat.  \u201cInvesting in education is an investment into the future, and it boosts our economy today. The rehabilitation of Simon Sanchez and the rest of our schools will provide great advantages. We benefit tremendously when we prioritize education.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information, please contact Nicole DeLisle Due\u00f1as in the Office of the Speaker at (671) 472-3586 or via electronic mail at delisleduenas@judiwonpat.com.<strong> (PR)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HAG\u00c5T\u00d1A\u2014Speaker Judith T.
