EXPLANATORY NOTE

This proposed measure seeks to separate the junior and senior high school
departments of the San Roque Integrated School in the Municipality of Balilihan, Province
of Bohol, and thereby create an independent San Roque National High School.

San Roque Integrated School is a public school supporting all levels from primary to
secondary. In time, population of the school has steadily grown. The situation gives
unnecessary strain to the faculty and teachers. Shared facilities to a mixed population of
students likewise add to the problem. Worse, it sacrifices the quality of education and the
academic performance of the students.

To decongest the school and help the teachers focus on the needs of the students as
appropriate to their grade level, the separation of the elementary from the junior and senior
high school is proper.

In compliance with the issuance of the Department of Education, specifically, DepEd
Order No. 40, series of 2014, San Roque Integrated School has already acquired a 6,000
square meters lot through a donation purposely to house the proposed independent
national high school.

With this great development, San Roque is more than ready to have its own
independent national high school. What is needed now is the law to enable them to do so.

In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of the instant proposal is earnestly
it.
