Dr. Velez said she is not favorable of extravagant JS Prom celebrations for public schools especially those located in the mountain barangays.
She has issued a memorandum to all school principals and teachers-in-charge in these schools to hold their juniors-senior’s ball in the afternoon only for security concerns.
She emphasized the need to ensure the security of the students in areas that are still identified as insurgency- affected or -threatened areas in the Province.
Dr. Velez also instructed the principals to coordinate with the Philippine National Police for the security of the students against the possible presence of gangs and criminal elements who might take advantage of the gatherings.
Most, if not all, JS proms are held in February when Valentine’s Day is celebrated worldwide. (PNA/JFP/Maricar Aranas)
