DR. ERNA NEBRAN, NEW PUBLIC SCHOOLS DISTRICT SUPERVISOR OF SAN JACINTO DISTRICT..

Nebran, Ed.D on the occasion of Investiture Porogram on October 1, 2014 at West Central School, San Jacinto. From left, SDS Raguindin, Dr. Erna Nebran, Atty.

Biason-P-III –BQB ES, Daniel Abaoag-P-IV-West Central School, etc.

 

San Jacinto, Pangasinan- Pangasinan Schools Division II Superintendent Viraluz S. Raguindin, CESO V signed the appointment of Dr. Erna C. Nebran, Ed.D as a Public Schools District Supervisor on September 18, 2013. Although she was not deployed in any district station she felt that God has a bigger plan for her progress under the guidance of the good Superintendent. Hence, on October 1, 2014, Dr. Nebran was assigned as the newly Public Schools District Supervisor of San Jacinto succeeding Mrs. Del Campo who has recently retired from the service.
 

Dr. Nebran was a graduate of a Bachelor of Kindergarten Education at Harris Memorial School, an International School which pioneers Pre-School Education, attended two years Engineering at the Luzon Colleges, Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education at the University of Pangasinan, a MA, Doctor of Education graduate and attended two years in the College of Law, University of Pangasinan. She started her education service at first as a kindergarten teacher in several private schools. She entered public elementary school service in 1995 as Teacher-1 at Babasit Elementary School, Manaoag, Pangasinan. After three years she was promoted to Head Teacher because she already possessed a Doctorate Degree of Education. Two years thereafter, she was promoted as Principal 1, MA holder then Principal II. Subsequently, Principal IV due to reclassification. Eventually, after 18 years of dedicated service, she was appointed as Public Schools District Supervisor. She is now the legally assigned Public Schools District Supervisor of San Jacinto District. She confronted, however, the apparent opposition from Sangguniang Bayan and the local leadership to her new assignment.
According to SDS Raguindin,” when we went to the Provincial Capitol with my niece to show her the grandeur of its edifice and compound, I was able meet there Mayor Robert O. DeVera of San Jacinto who is a very simple man occupying the highest local government office of San Jacinto.’ I told him while he was at that time in the capitol lobby, that there will be a new PSDS who will succeed Mrs. Del Campo. Unfortunately the successor assigned is not from San Jacinto because no one was qualified in the district on the ranking conducted prior to her retirement’. It is an existing policy that whoever appointed as PSDS should not be deployed in his/her district. We also wrote the Mayor and the Chairman of the Local School Board informing them of the assignment of Dr. Nebran as the new PSDS.
 

As a result, the Sangguniang Bayan passed a resolution requesting Mr. Redentor Aquino, Education Program Supervisor to be assigned instead. Of course, we understand their sentiment favoring Mr. Aquino being a kababayan and proud to be supposedly preferred. However, he being a Division Education Program Supervisor for Mathematics, he is also designated as Officer-In-Charge PSDS of Binalonan District II, OIC for School Programs and Facilities, Coordinator for scholarships and other designations. It would be impossible for the Office to designate again Mr. Redentor Aquino that would be giving him too much load. “Mas Masama kung ibibigay ko pa siya sa inyo kung hindi rin nya magampanan ng lubos, the duties and responsibilities as PSDS for a second district. Although we had never a chance to meet with the mayor after we wrote them, I requested all school heads to give full support to Dr. Nebran. We could do nothing. Whether you like it or else dito na siya until there is another cycle of movements.” DepEd Order No. 7 s., 19 , states that is one’s a Superintendent down to the principal is assigned to a specific station for five years already he/she could be reassigned or reshuffled, but except , if they would be promoted/ one’s promoted for instance such principal should go outside of the school. If a principal ayaw umalis sa school hwag na mag pa- promote. That is the importance of the policy.”
 

“Dr. Nebran’s appointment is very timely because among the PSDS she is eloquent in Pangasinan dialect; she will be able to understand more of your concerns; she ought to implement the organization of special education program in San Jacinto; intensifying our inclusive education program; this district should be made as special education center; support the training /instructional needs of the teacher; raise up the level of performance of pupils; raise up the level of proficiency; sustain the high level of integrity of the teaching profession, and raise up the level of standards of education.”

Dr. Nebran in her investiture speech, said,” My stay here is not an accident because God’s plan it. He plans the days of my life in advance by choosing the exact time and this place for my appointment and destination. God’s plan is never accidental and commit no mistakes. As Jeremiah 2911 states,” For I Know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a good future.” For San Jacinto is a better place for me now. I will do my best as good leader.”
 

All school heads and principals of San Jacinto District, The District Teacher’s Club, PTA officers and members fully supports the newly assigned District Supervisor Dr. Erna C. Nebran as they look forward for her as a catalysts of reforms in said district.
