VENUS)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In hopes of seeing their return to the Hopwood Middle School campus in Chalan Piao come closer, school staff, student leaders, elected leaders, and members of Hopwood Middle School\u2019s Parent-Teacher Association joined together to clean up the campus of debris and overgrown grass last Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Hopwood principal Dr. Rizalina Liwag thanked everyone who joined, saying this is one way for students, teachers, and staff can do to help the campus for the time being.<\/p>\n<p>Talks about the rehabilitation of the Chalan Piao campus is still ongoing within the Public School System. The school suffered catastrophic damage during Super Typhoon Yutu in October 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Reps. Luis John Castro (R-Saipan), Tina Sablan (Ind-Saipan), and Richard Lizama (Ind-Saipan) joined the cleanup; other lawmakers contributed materials.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Edwin K. Propst (Ind-Saipan), Joseph Lee Pan Guerrero (R-Saipan), and Sen. Vinnie Sablan (Ind-Saipan) each sent staff and refreshments; they were unable to participate due to conflicting schedules. The Lady Diann Torres Foundation also sent refreshments.<\/p>\n<p>CNMI Forestry and the Micronesian Islands Nature Alliance helped remove the collected debris from the campus. The Department of Public Works also provided manpower services and equipment.<\/p>\n<p>While there is no current timeline on when the campus will be revitalized, Liwag said the Federal Emergency Management Agency recently visited the campus.<\/p>\n<p>PSS has also been looking at ways to get the Chalan Piao campus up and running as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Super Typhoon Yutu left the school with only 19 usable classrooms; it had 54. The middle school is currently holding classes in a temporary campus next to Koblerville Elementary School made up of 42 military tents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In hopes of seeing their return to the Hopwood Middle School campus in Chalan Piao&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-309886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=309886"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309886\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=309886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=309886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=309886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
