The Public School System is operating under a challenging fiscal environment in Tinian, Rota, and Saipan, as campuses recover from storm damage and federal pandemic aid has expired. Jacqueline Che, acting Education Commissioner, briefed the Rotary Club of Saipan members on the situation, noting the system has budget deficits and fewer resources to maintain operations. PSS has lost 10% of its workforce since January, including one-third of its classroom teachers.
