AT the Northern Marianas Technical Institute board of trustees meeting on Wednesday afternoon, chairman Mario Valentino called for an independent audit of NMTIâs finances.
For fiscal year 2019, the institute received $750,000 from the first to third quarters: $250,000 was processed on Dec. 12, 2019; $250,000 on Feb. 15, 2020; and $250,000 on April 14, 2020.
These funds were for the period of October 2019 through June 2020. NMTI did not receive funds for the fourth quarter.
Valentino noted that after taking into account how much funding was available as well as the obligations that needed to be met, and the schoolâs current balance, the institute spent $750,000 in a year when there was no school due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
IN a joint letter to Northern Marianas Technical Institute board chairman Mario Valentino, minority bloc Sens. Paul Manglona and Edith Deleon Guerrero urged NMTI to resume operations for the sake of its students.
âIt is with great disappointment we write to you regarding the current discontinuation of the [NMTI] operations. With the closure of NMTI, approximately 100 students are being affected, not accounting for the additional 120 students that are on the waiting list for the next âmoduleâ cycle,â the senators wrote.
Of the current NMTI students, 30 are pursuing their high school diploma equivalent in trade and vocational certifications, such as the National Center for Construction Education and Research, or NCCER, certification.
