EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘This bill seeks the separation of the Sic. Tomas High School Annex from the Baguio City
National High School and its conversion into the Sto. Tomas National High School.

The separation and conversion of this high scliool annex inio a national high school
serves lo fulfill the local legislative intent declared under Resolution 192 enacted in 1994 by the
Sangguniang Panlungsod of Baguio for high school anexes to operaie independently of their
‘mother national high sehoo! institutions pursuant (o regulations allowed undler existing national
policies.

‘The Sto, Tomas High School Annex of the Baguio City National High School possesses
institutional qualifications to operate on its own as a National High School. It has adequate Jand
fea in ils ptesent school site for expanded schoo) building facilities and strengthened school-
related functions. Its high school population has grown through the years, serving the young
onstituents not only of Sto, Tomas barangay but even of nearby communiti

It separation and conversion into a National High Schoo! will purposely enhance quality
hhjgh schoo! education in the area, focused as itis in its independent operations unhampered by
‘the constant need to be in coordination with a supervising mother unit as presently obtaining fo
the utmost inconvenience ofits administration, teaching and non-teaching personne! and)
students, At the same time, as a national high sgliool very much reliant on its own institutional
competence, this high school unit will be performing its mandated academic functions solely on
its own eapability, without having to compete With other high school annexes for fundtfag and
logistical priorities set by its mother unit. — sie eS
