The Guam Department of Education has announced the successful disbursement of more than $18.5 million in American Rescue Plan vendor payments last week.
Of that total, nearly $17.6 million went to resolve outstanding bills with CoreTech, which had piled up while ARP funding was on hold.
Other vendors receiving payments include ST Corporation, Johndel International, M80 Office Systems, Rainbow Paint Supply, Allstart Inc. doing business as Qua, Medpharm, De Vera Lopez, Meilbert, Hive Guam, Follett Content Solutions, Guam Power Authority, and Savvas Learning Company.
Superintendent Dr. Erik Swanson says the payments mean more than just clearing the books—they represent an investment back into Guam’s economy, as the funds ultimately circulate through the community.
