Figure 11: Institutions Affected by Region Source: Ministry of Education During the event attendance at schools was largely disrupted, with all schools being declared closed on September 29. With the official closing of schools and educational institutions approximately 880 000 students and over 25 000 teachers experienced loss of a day’s education contact time. These estimates were based on enrollment of the school age population (3 to 24 years) during the 2008/09 academic year 11 . As at October 5, the Ministry of Education reported that while affected schools had to undertake extensive cleaning activities, most schools had resumed normal schedules. The school year was extended by one day to compensate for the lost classroom time as a result of the event. 11 ESSJ 2009 26
C. Public Buildings a) Correctional Facilities Damage to correctional facilities was minimal with the main complaint from most locations being the leakage of roofs. The perimeter fence of the Horizon Park facility in Spanish Town, St. Catherine was damaged by water from a gully which overflowed its banks. Sections of the compound were also flooded. b) Heritage Sites None of the sites under the proprietorship of the Jamaica National Heritage Trust (JNHT) sustained any damage. However, the historic Savanna-la-Mar Baptist Church in Westmoreland, built in 1829, was completely destroyed by a micorburst, which hit the town on September 29. d) Post Offices There was no infrastructural damage to Post Offices across the island but some post offices experienced leaking as a result of previous damage. The Magotty Post Office was flooded as it is in close proximity to the Maggotty River which overflowed its banks. Additionally, Green Hill was cut off from vehicular traffic, as the road leading there was eroded. Flooded Maggotty Post Office 27
