On the other hand, DepEd’s School Calendar for
School Year 2017-
2018 (DepEd Order No 25, s. 2017) provides for the following dates which directly
conflicts with the Barangay and SK Election Preparations since our public
school teachers are the ones who are designated/appointed as Chair and
Members of the Electoral Board:
• 16 April 2018 to 25 May 2018 – Summer/Remedial Classes;
• 14 to 18 May 2018 – Brigada Eskwela;
Specifically, there is be a need to adjust the date intended for Brigada Eskwela since public schools are uilized as Voting Centers and polling precincts every elecion. The period set forth in the DepEd School Calendar will directly coincide with the 2018 Synchronized Barangay and SK Elecions, thus, an advisory to all field offices is necessary on this matter.
