BATUAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CONTINGENCY PLAN

School Year 2020-2021

I. BACKGROUND

BATUAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PROFILE

About six kilometers north from the ferestal town of La Carlota City is a place named

Barangay Batuan. It is surrounded by rice fields which are owned by the kind and generous

person named the late, Leopoldo Soberano. Most of the inhabitants rented a piece of land from

him to earn a living. Since people relied solely in farming, life becomes very difficult for them.

To uplift their way of living, people tried to give their children education they needed. However

acquiring education is challenging for children had to walk a total of eight kilometers everyday

in going to school which is located at the city proper. The distance of school from home was the

very reason why some of the children were not able to finish even just their primary education.

To address the need of the children and in view of his love and affection to the service of the

inhabitants, Mr. Leopoldo Soberano donated a two- hectare land as a school site on

March, 1960.

The first classroom of Batuan Elementary School was made of nipa and bamboo.

This was built through the support of the newly -elected City Mayor: Hon. Jaime Mariňo and

Vice Mayor Jo Flores. It catered 15 grade one pupils with Ms. Zenia Doloso as their teacher. On

the following year, the Grade-II pupils were taught Ms. Doloso but in a multi- grade class

separated only by a chalkboard.

In 1969, a Marcos-Type building was constructed on the site. The construction of the

additional rooms gave way for the school to offer a complete elementary education to the

children in the area and the nearby haciendas such as Hacienda Salvacion and Hacienda Sta.

Rita.

In 1972, under the management of Mrs. Tumonong, Batuan Elementary School had its

first batch of graduates of sixteen pupils, whom nine (9) are girls and seven (7) are boys.

In 1977, under the leadership of Mrs. Socrates, a stage and Bagong Lipunan building

were built. Over the years, more children graduated from this humble school under the

leadership of the following School Heads: Mrs. Julia Delos Santos, Mr. Erlando Atilano,

Mr. Avelino N. Santillan, Mr. Horacio Cabuguason, Mrs. Leilani D. Castillo, Mr. Rolando Heria,

Mr. Nymrad Tadlan, Miss Ana Liza M. Bionat, Mrs. Brenda N. Nazareno and presently,

by Mrs. Sally Grace S. Ferrancullo.

The school is guided by the Mission-Vision and Core Values as set by the Department of

Education to attain its primary goal which is to provide quality education among its clients.

ACCESSIBLITY Batuan Elementary School is almost 6 kilometers from the city. It is 20 minute- ride from the city to the school. The basic means of transportation in going to school is by tricycle.

II. OBJECTIVES

This year’s School Contingency Plan of Batuan Elementary School prioritizes on

Covid-19 Pandemic situation, earthquake awareness caused by Mt. Kanlaon’s tremor,

typhoons, and possible floods.

The following are the objectives:

1. Take precautionary measures to anticipate, prevent or minimize the adverse effect of

Covid-19 , earthquake, volcanic eruption,typhoons, floods and heavy rainfall to

children’s immediate access to education during an emergency/disaster and lead

learners in attaining the complete and full cycle of education.

2. Secure all learners and access them to resources which will support their class

attendance.

3. Provide learners of physical facilities, teaching and learning materials and other

resources despite of pandemic, threat of volcanic eruptions, earthquake, typhoons and

floods.

3. Enhance coordination mechanism with LGU and other stakeholders.

III. HAZARDS

Batuan Elementary School is situated beside a creek where the old barrio site was

located. This site is surrounded by rice fields where the community depends their source of

living. Because of its location and topography the school is vulnerable to probable floods,

typhoon and earthquake.

In the event of the occurrence of prolonged rainfall particularly from the month of July

to December, it is expected that floods, flash floods and landslides are expected to affect the

access of education of learners during the impact of hazards.

The challenge now is the delivery of quality education to affected pupils of Batuan

Elementary School and the provision of better atmosphere for the pupils. The priority of the

school is in securing resumption of classes the soonest possible time after the disaster and the

provision of spaces and tents, learners’ and teachers’ kits, alternative delivery mode modules ,

other instructional materials including Radio-based Instruction and supervised Television-

based Instruction or Blended Learning.

IV. DISASTERS, IMPACTS AND VULNERABLE DIVISIONS

Based on records, Batuan Elementary School so far, did not experience worst situation

caused by typhoons or floods. It was only in 2003, that the school was flooded due to

a heavy rainfall. The flood brought minor damages on school supplies and facilities.

The school’s vulnerability to natural hazards for now, may not be very high to cause any

damage and disrupt the delivery of quality education.

IX. PREPAREDNESS MEASURES

Typhoon and continuous heavy rain will cause flooding and flashfloods at affected areas

based on PAGASA. Rainfall forecast, forecast of tropical storms and climate outlook for 2018.

Localized flooding will occur and be triggered by either South-East monsoon or a tropical

storm. If the heavy monsoon rain prolonged for a period longer than 3-5 days, flooding or

flashfloods are expected.

The unpredicted situation of Mt. Kanlaon demands readiness, watchfulness and

alertness among the school personnel.

The combat on the threat of COVID-19 has not yet ended.

Immediate effect of this are disruption of classes due to displaced family using school as

evacuation center, damaged school buildings facilities, teaching and learning materials and

disruption of major lifelines.

Activate School Hazard Team

Attend Pre-Disaster Risk Assessment Meeting

Send out advisory to CDRRMO and SH
