BARUCBOC, Quezon, Isabela โ The PSDS Hour served as one of the highlights of the Quezon District School Heads Meeting held at the Conference Room of Barucboc National High School, where Dr. Darwin D. Mangunay, Public Schools District Supervisor of Quezon District, shared key policy directions and administrative updates recently discussed during the Division Management Committee (ManCom) Meeting.
Addressing the district's school heads, Dr. Mangunay discussed a wide range of governance and operational concerns, emphasizing the importance of aligning school management practices with existing Department of Education policies. Among the topics tackled were school governance and leadership, School Parent-Teacher Association (SPTA) policies, guidelines on donations, curriculum implementation and instructional delivery, learning resources, service credits of school personnel, and the supervisory functions of school heads.
He also highlighted the significance of school supervisory plans, reminding school heads that instructional supervision should be systematic, continuous, and anchored on improving teaching and learning. He emphasized that every assessment should be followed by a Program Implementation Review (PIR) to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions, monitor learners' performance in summative assessments and other evaluation tools, identify implementation gaps, and formulate appropriate actions for continuous improvement.
On school safety, Dr. Mangunay reiterated the importance of Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) preparedness, encouraging schools to ensure that emergency hotline numbers are updated and prominently displayed, while maintaining functional school safety protocols and preparedness measures for learners and personnel.
He likewise discussed the use of the biometric attendance system as part of strengthening accountability and efficiency in attendance monitoring. In relation to instructional leadership, he encouraged school heads to sustain effective classroom supervision and provide continuous coaching and technical assistance to teachers to improve learner outcomes.
Discussing the Early Language, Literacy and Numeracy Assessment (ELLNA) results, Dr. Mangunay urged school heads to closely examine their schools' performance and use assessment data to guide instructional interventions. While recognizing the importance of maintaining clean, orderly, and aesthetically pleasing school environments, he reminded school leaders that learners' academic achievement should never be compromised by giving greater emphasis to physical improvements or landscaping projects.
In closing, Dr. Mangunay underscored that every policy, decision, and initiative undertaken by schools should always be anchored on the best interest of the learners. He reminded school heads that effective leadership is ultimately reflected in improved learning outcomes, strengthened school governance, and the overall well-being of every learner entrusted to their care.
The session reinforced Quezon District's commitment to learner-centered leadership, instructional excellence, and policy compliance as school heads continue to work collaboratively in delivering quality basic education.
