SAS CONTINUITY PLAN

This continuity plan seeks to ensure that the delivery of services for students’ welfare
and development progresses and continues even amidst disasters such as natural calamities,
storms, fires, and pandemics. This plan overcomes obstacles created by the disasters through
innovative means of service delivery, keeping students on their respective tracks without
compromising their health and safety. With today’s COVID-19 pandemic, the main obstacle
that has to be overcome is the need for social distancing, making face-to-face interaction
impossible. More so, this plan is aligned with the protocols set forth by the municipality
relevant to the current crisis. Therefore, any continuity plan to be implemented today has to
account for this limitation. Below is the SAS continuity plan of the institution.
