\"Burglars<\/a>

A middle school in Afetna was broken into and lost food items from its pantry.<\/p>\n

Francisco M. Sablan Middle School principal James Sablan suspects the burglar or burglars broke into the school between the hours of Sunday evening and early hours of Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Sablan believes the burglars climbed the locked fence surrounding the school before shattering the window protected by a shutter, allowing burglars to open the window and access the storage room of the cafeteria.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cafeteria people came in and noticed that the storage room was open,\u201d said Sablan. \u201cAfter further investigation, [the cafeteria personnel] realized that somebody broke the glass window, granting access to the storage room.\u201d<\/p>\n

The burglars took only food items from the FMS cafeteria such as fruits, chocolate milk cartons, and water bottles, to name a few.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoney and equipment-wise, none was lost,\u201d said Sablan.<\/p>\n

FMS has security cameras in certain parts of the school as a means to deter burglaries such as this, but none were installed in the cafeteria\u2014the burglar\u2019s point of entry.<\/p>\n

FMS has experienced several burglaries throughout 2016, the worst one resulting in the loss of several laptops in July. The laptops were reportedly retrieved later.<\/p>\n

The incident has already been reported to both the Board of Education and the authorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are really hoping to increase the security measures taken by the schools to protect the students\u2019 equipment, instructional materials, and everything else in the campus,\u201d said Education Commissioner Cynthia Deleon Guerrero. \u201cWe don\u2019t necessarily have funding for security, but we have to be very creative in ensuring that we do what we can to protect the schools.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deleon Guerrero said it was too early to determine whether funding would be allocated for the security of schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe [budget] review team would be looking into that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Deleon Guerrero said the budget review has yet to start due to a new budgeting process involving stakeholders, management personnel, and the commissioner\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to refine [the budget] as we move along, but I think that everybody is excited and are happy to be participating. Their reviews begin [today],\u201d she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
