Funding for Guam’s Sanchez High School

The law provides $16.377125 million for Simon A. Sanchez High School construction lease-back payments and early project costs. Despite conflicting laws, funding comes from projected uncommitted fiscal year 2025 General Fund revenue identified in the June 2025 report. Tax-exempt borrowing or other financing can cover early work, construction, furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Financing principal cannot exceed $166.365 million, and interest cannot exceed 8.5%. Alternative financing must better serve Guam and receive Guam Legislature approval; ongoing procurement and Public Works’ discretion remain unchanged.
