President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has signed Executive Order No. 130, granting schools the authority to independently declare onsite class suspensions during bad weather or hazardous conditions. The order allows educational institutions to implement 'granular suspension' even when national or local governments have not issued a suspension. Schools must coordinate with local chief executives (LCEs) and provide documented evidence of site-specific threats to safety, health, or welfare. The EO also mandates that schools adopt learning continuity measures during suspensions, aligning with policies from the ECCD Council, DepEd, CHED, and TESDA. Additionally, schools can automatically suspend classes upon issuance of warnings by PAGASA, PHIVOLCS, or DENR-EMB. Local officials may declare suspensions based on verified disaster or risk levels within their jurisdictions. The order further permits schools to seek early resumption of classes ahead of LGU-wide orders if site-specific assessments confirm safety and local government concurrence. Amid El Niño threats, the Department of Education specifies that schools may suspend both physical and online classes when local temperatures reach 42 degrees Celsius, provided coordination with local government is maintained. This EO aims to provide flexibility while ensuring educational continuity and safety during adverse conditions.
