Campus Director Franklin L. Salisid encouraged PSHS-CMC faculty and staff to exercise prudence and creativity in allocating resources to prioritize the essential needs of the institution during its Annual Operational and Procurement Planning Workshop for FY 2024 and Gender and Development (GAD) Planning and Budgeting for FY 2024.

“Let us strategize to maintain the high-quality education even in the face of budgetary constraints,” Salisid said.

The three-day workshop that ran from September 20 to 22, 2023, at Alona’s Summer Breeze Resort in Panaon, Misamis Occidental, brought together key members of the PSHS-CMC community, including the campus director, division chiefs, unit heads, office heads, and coordinators.

The planning took on exceptional significance as it was held against the backdrop of a substantial budget cut of 300 million pesos from the PSHS system for the fiscal year 2024.

Despite such financial limitations, participants displayed resilience and dedication by engaging in thorough discussions to ensure that critical programs and projects remain supported. The workshops resulted in the identification of key areas, ensuring that the institution's paramount needs remain a priority.

Curriculum Instruction Division (CID) Chief Jay Carl Agbay acknowledged the difficulty of planning under such budget constraints and called for understanding, particularly from the scholars, teachers, and parents, in case changes in the terms and conditions of the school's operations and procurement become necessary.
