WHILE I was attending an athletic association event, and in a short huddle with some heads of participating educational institutions, the topic quickly shifted from sports to class suspensions in schools on account of recent typhoons.
The common sentiment on the table was that there's an utter lack of clear guidelines on which government instrumentality shall make the announcement of suspension of classes and, more importantly, the extent of such authority to suspend classes.EO 66 series of 2012When it comes to automatic suspension of classes, Executive Order 66 series of 2012 provided the rules.
DO 37, series of 2022The more recent issuance on class suspensions is Department Order 37, series of 2022, which provides that in-person, online classes and work from kinder to Grade 12 are automatically suspended in schools in local government units issued with tropical cyclone wind signals 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 by the Pagasa. The department order provides that its scope covers all schools under the DepEd, including their students and school personnel, and is optional only for private schools.
