 proposal of the Public School System.
Chaired by Rep. Ivan A. Blanco, the committee met with Board of Education Chairwoman Janice P. Tenorio, Education Commissioner Dr. Alfred B. Ada, Associate Commissioner for Administrative Services Kimo Rosario, PSS-Federal Programs Officer Tim Thornburgh, and several members of the PSS administrative team.
He said PSS relies directly and solely on public funds to provide public education.
“It is critical that we invest more funds for the public school students’ learning. It is critical that we sustain and give our absolute commitment and support…. While we acknowledge [the] coronavirus pandemic, let us not be sidetracked — public education needs support. Covid-19 makes PSS particularly vulnerable. Let us all come together to help PSS rebuild and start to reopen under a different environment,” Ada said.
He added that PSS teachers have been placed under a 64-hour work week.
“To be honest about it, it equates to shortchanging our students. We understand that the coronavirus pandemic has altered and changed [the educational system in] its entirety, but shortchanging the teachers means we shortchange the students, and when we shortchange the students, we shortchange the future of the CNMI. But it does not and should not translate to underfunding public education,” he said.
According to the budget submission by the administration, PSS requested a $40.6 million budget for FY 2021. The administration, for its part, proposed $20.5 million only.
Ada said PSS is hoping to get at least $25 million.
PSS teachers, he added, will be required to participate in professional development to adjust and adapt to “the new norm” when the new school year begins.
He said PSS is still researching and will have continuing discussions on developmentally age-appropriate methods of instruction for all of its students, including those with the early childhood education and special education programs.
PSS is also seeking the help of parents in continuing the students’ education at home, especially with respect to remote or online student learning, Ada said.
Thornburgh highlighted Kagman Elementary School as a “preview” of how all public schools will look like, with thermal scanners, regular disinfection of footwear and classrooms, and appropriate spacing between seats in classrooms.)

The action is spectacular and the storyline keeps you riveted from start to finish. This movie grabs with its cinematic lead in and flashback to World War Two. (Complete with throwback radio broadcast) From there, it’s one big roller coaster ride to the pulse pounding finish. The battle sequences are some of the best ever animated. I think the PG-13 rating really helps. Soldiers die and heroes bleed, that completely draws the viewer in to the feature. I think movie fans of all ages will be stunned at how many levels this movie delivers upon. This is a smart and surprisingly interesting film that really delivers.

]);Coskipper of Team Malizia, Will Harris has just finished The Transat en Double race with the young Spanish skipper Pep Costa from Concarneau to St Barthélemy in the Figaro Bénéteau. After a long and hard fought race which saw the duo keep pace with the lead pack throughout the race there was a North South split which went against the pair and saw them finish in a respectable 13th position.
It was a very intense race throughout, and although at first it seemed that they were going to opt for the northern option, they were more confident about the south. After 18 days, 11hours, 24 minutes and 36 seconds and an intense battle, they crossed the finish line with a big smile on their face.
“I’m very happy to have finally reached the finish line. We have been pushing our boat as hard as possible for the last 20 days to be in the mix with the rest of the fleet. There were very few times we used the autopilot even favouring to hand steer most of the time to gain more speed. Even though the result wasn’t quite what we wanted, Pep and I are extremely happy with how we sailed the race and performed. The Figaro fleet is the hardest there is and we fought very closely with the top the whole time.” – said Will Harris.
However, there is not much time to rest for Will, as Team Malizia’s co-skipper is soon heading to Cascais, Portugal, to join Akzonobel Ocean Racing Team as their navigator for the 2nd leg of the Europe Ocean Race. This will be a good training for Will who joins Boris Herrmann onboard the new IMOCA next year in the the full Ocean Race where the duo will be joined by two other sailors to compete for 9 months racing around the world.
You can follow the race on The Ocean Race website and social media channels.
Good luck, to all the competitors in this hard race!
@ Will: rock on!I'm on a limited budget, and love deck building.  I've got 14 edh decks now with 2 in the works. I love finding ways to make more overlooked (and thus cheaper) cards work to their full potential rather than buying a powerhouse staple everyone has seen before. Not to say I won't buy expensive cards ever. Doubling Season, for example, is a must include in token / counter straregies. But I'm not putting shocks and og duals into my decks if I don't already own a spare. I've got plenty of decks that were built for 100 or less dollars and they're a blast to play.Past performance of the *pollsters* yes. But they don't to my knowledge shift the average based on what they expect to be total Democrat/Republican results. That sort of defeats the purpose of doing an average. 

The other thing they do is determine a partisan lean of each pollster based on the other pollsters of the same issue. This isn't intended to drag the results one way or the other, but just avoid a situation where the average goes way toward Republicans when a Republican-leaning pollster like Trafalgar drops a ton of polls. Or the other way with a Democrat-leaning pollster. It's not saying Trafalgar is wrong, just wanting to make sure it's the actual movement of the polls that moves the average, not just which pollsters are releasing more polls. 

Again, all *pollster*-related adjustments. No *race*-specific adjustments in the polling averages I'm aware of.20 end of year movies that are common core aligned!
