Governor Lou Leon Guerrero Special Address on Education - Thursday, August 8, 2024
Today should have been the first day of classes for thousands of public school students. Instead, students, parents, and employees of the Guam Department of Education wonder if or when schools will open at all.
For years, I have made clear that while I can offer the DOE the resources of the Executive Branch, I cannot manage DOE’s leadership, deploy its personnel, direct its finances, or correct its policy…
Guam law says, while I might be Governor of Guam, I do not govern DOE.
But I also know you elect us to confront problems not to tell you we can’t fix them. You want schools open and kids learning. How that happens is the job of the leaders you elect…
You want everyone to stop talking and get it done, and I will not spend weeks in deliberation only to leave the job undone. I will not bi...

Today should have been the first day of classes for thousands of public school students. Instead, students, parents, and employees of the Guam Department of Education wonder if or when schools will open at all.
For years, I have made clear that while I can offer the DOE the resources of the Executive Branch, I cannot manage DOE’s leadership, deploy its personnel, direct its finances, or correct its policy…
Guam law says, while I might be Governor of Guam, I do not govern DOE.
But I also know you elect us to confront problems not to tell you we can’t fix them. You want schools open and kids learning. How that happens is the job of the leaders you elect…
You want everyone to stop talking and get it done, and I will not spend weeks in deliberation only to leave the job undone. I will not bicker and point fingers as our children and parents wait.
Grant me statutory authority over DOE and I will be responsible for it throughout the remainder of my term. Give me the legal authority to fix it—and then you can have the right to hold me accountable. But one can’t exist without the other. Anything else is an invitation for even more failure and delay.
In the interim, I have taken measures to help move our schools forward.
First, I met with DOE Superintendent Dr. Eric Swanson and Guam Education Board Chair Dr. Mary Okada and renewed my commitment to support the opening of schools.
Second, the superintendent will provide me with detailed information of pending repair and maintenance work in our schools.
Third, we will use all of our government resources, to include autonomous agencies, to ensure completion of repairs. Again, my legal authority and oversight over these agencies is limited by Guam law, but I have asked these agencies to step up and commit their own resources to help our kids. I have asked them to send their maintenance workers and their engineers, their mechanics, plumbers and welders, and anyone else who can help. This group will be known as the School Opening Readiness Team.
Lastly, to allay your fears and anxieties and to hold ourselves accountable, we will be reporting out our progress regularly.
To be clear: Superintendent Swanson has stated that the 23 schools that have passed inspection will open on August 15. The remaining 18 schools will open pending passing of their inspections.
As a parent, I share your worries about the safety of our schools. As governor, I will do everything within my authority to ensure our kids are safe in their learning environments.
To the students, their families, and the thousands of Guam Department of Education faculty and staff: while we do not yet have a clear opening date for the remaining schools, our administration will work as fast as humanly possible to restore our campuses and ensure your safe return.

SOT Rear admiral Marty Janczak, "We don't want to speculate now. It's a terrible tragedy, a terrible accident and that's where we want to leave it until the experts come in and ascertain what happened";
SOT from Guam Governor, Carl Guiterez in English: "It's very difficult to describe - there were flames around the crash site. It was dark and the only way we could get to them was following the sounds and cries of survivors, we ran through the tall grass and followed the sounds, and find survivors and pulled them to an area, to amass them there so when the medics came they could be easily taken care of, so it was like a small flashlight trying to follow the screams.";
SOT from Guam Governor, Carl Guiterez in English: I heard one explosion when I got there about twenty minutes then there was another explosion";
SOT Rear admiral Marty Janczak, "In my opinion and I heard more than one, in my opinion it was aircraft tyres on fire, the tyres would expand and burst, that's what it sounded like to me, I would not read anything in to that. The plane was on fire, and I would submit that was what the noise was"
SOT Rear admiral Marty Janczak, We have recovered both black boxes - I have personally sighted them, they have a chain of custody, in fact they are probably in hawaii, at this time";
