Japanese School of Guam, Simon Sanchez receive 'D' health inspection grades

Two schools not making the grade in public health’s latest inspection report

The Japanese School of Guam became the most recent school to receive a “D” rating. 

Some of the violations include a lack of mesh for outside openings, which let flies and wasps into a classroom. One student even got stung by a wasp. 

Other issues include high humidity due to doors left open, and cleaning and chemical products not being stored properly—in addition to students getting sick with a sore throat, diarrhea, and fever for more than five days. 

Meanwhile, Simon Sanchez High School was also given a “D.”

Both schools are required to be in full sanitary compliance by June 2024, however, should Bill 29-37 become law, public schools must be in compliance by School Year 2023-2024.
