The education sector, parents, and students have been clamoring to normalize school operations and restore regular learning schedules ahead of the June 16 class opening.
In a meeting at the city Social Hall on Tuesday, June 10, the DRRM Council relayed their recommendation to Mayor Rex Jalando-on, as DRRMC chairman, that IDPs from areas outside the six-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) be allowed to go home by June 13.
These are 257 families or 890 individuals displaced from Sitios Bais, Batacon, and Labinsawan in Barangay Yubo, along with Sitios Nailab and Tinin-awan in Barangay Ara-al.
For nearly six months, several IDPs have been accommodated at La Carlota South Elementary School II, La Carlota North Elementary School, and La Carlota City College-Cubay Campus, limiting face-to-face classes to just two days a week.
With this move, the DRRM believes that it will enable these schools to resume full in-person classes by June 16, addressing the prolonged disruption in education.
They said that the shift back to regular school operations will benefit both traditional learners and IDP students who can now reintegrate into formal schooling.
Jalando-on assured the public that all measures are being taken to facilitate a smooth transition for returning families and students.
The 62 families or 226 individuals from Sitio Guintubdan, Barangay Ara-al, which is within the six-kilometer PDZ, will be relocated to the City Evacuation Center to ensure their continued safety.
The city government remains committed to supporting both returning families and those in need of continued shelter, ensuring a balanced and compassionate approach to recovery.
