LGU Ormoc Local School Board Approves Project LUCY 4.0
ORMOC CITY — In a significant move to uplift the academic performance of learners in the city, the Local School Board (LSB) of Ormoc City, chaired by Hon. Lucy Torres-Gomez, City Mayor, and co-chaired by SDS Dr. Carmelino P. Bernadas, formally approved the implementation of Project LUCY 4.0 during its special meeting held on September 1, 2026 at Ormoc City Mayor's Conference room, Ormoc City.
During the session, Dr. Abel M. Dayandayan, Education Supervisor in Science, presented the rationale and purpose of the project, outlining how the initiative would directly benefit learners and support the division’s goals in foundational skills development.
Project LUCY 4.0 is a targeted intervention program designed to provide financial assistance to identified struggling learners, enabling them to fully participate in specialized remediation activities focused on Reading and Numeracy — two foundational skills critical to student success.
Through this initiative, qualified learners will receive financial support to remove barriers that may hinder their attendance and engagement in scheduled intervention programs. The assistance is intended to help cover necessary expenses so that students can focus on improving their literacy and numeracy competencies.
Education officials led by Dr. Carmelino P. Bernadas expressed gratitude to LGU Ormoc City for its unwavering commitment to education and for championing this initiative. The approval underscores the strong partnership between the local government and the schools division in ensuring that no learner is left behind.
Implementation of Project LUCY 4.0 is set to begin immediately, with identified beneficiaries to be notified through their respective schools. The program is expected to benefit 782 learners across public elementary schools in Ormoc City.
