Bryan Praises School Construction Director Amidst Ongoing Maintenance Struggles

Craig Benjamin's leadership and challenges with hurricane-damaged modular classrooms highlighted during press briefing

The tenure of Craig Benjamin, executive director of the Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance, is “going really well,” said Governor Albert Bryan Jr., who made the assessment during Monday’s press briefing from Government House.

“We got him in late this summer, so his priority right now is making sure we’re good on the new school contracts that are going forward," said the governor. Mr. Benjamin reportedly began leading the Bureau in mid-June. However regular school maintenance, Governor Bryan anticipated, will continue to be a struggle, particularly when it comes to the “modulars inherited from the hurricane,” which he says “have just been a nightmare from the start."‌
