The government declares the second start of classes a success: every school opened

On August 6, 2026, NotiCel reports that the government declared the second start of classes a success. Every school on the island opened, according to that note. Governor Jenniffer González Colón attributed the result to Quiero mi escuela, the initiative that brings the central government into the return to class. She inspected Segunda Unidad Bonifacio Alvarado School in Orocovis, with Secretary Eliezer Ramos Parés and other officials. At that campus she announced construction of a basketball court with 427,598 dollars in state funds.

The education-policy figure the outlet highlights is the bilingual network: 36 schools in January 2025, 119 in August 2026. Jenniffer González Colón said the goal is to take the program to the mountains, the west, the south, and the whole island, not only the metropolitan area. That goal is hers. NotiCel does not publish an independent bilingual count.

Education reported 100 percent of schools open. Those that lacked electric power, according to the outlet, was because of LUMA incidents; those were running on a Department generator. The Public Buildings Authority had 386 schools active and, in the morning, had received no negative incidents. It had four special brigades. Those numbers are the agencies' via NotiCel.

On August 3, Presencia PR had covered the 1,200 million cut and the 1,800 posts the SPT denounces. On August 6, El Nuevo Día covered the resignation of the AAA board president. This note does not rewrite those kernels. The public act of the 6th is the school opening the government calls a success.

The Orocovis school, according to Education via NotiCel, serves kindergarten through eighth grade, is number 17 among 497 elementary schools in the School Profile, and has a Five Star classification. Those seals are the Department's. Anyone looking for the Profile or the court plan has the URL at the foot. This is not original reporting.
