Ley que designa la nueva escuela elemental de segunda unidad del Municipio de Ceiba con el nombre de Luis Muñoz Marín, en honor al exgobernador de Puerto Rico.
(Approved November 13, 2002)
To designate the new second unit elementary school of the Municipality of Ceiba as Luis Muñoz Marín, after the former governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
Currently, the second unit elementary school in the Municipality of Ceiba is under construction, and shall be operating in the next academic year 2002-2003. These modern facilities shall contain the classrooms where fifth, sixth and seventh grade students shall be educated.
Luis Muñoz Marín was governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico from 1948 to 1964. His work and contribution to the Puerto Rico we all know today is unquestionable. The majority of the municipalities in Puerto Rico have buildings, streets or public halls named after this illustrious Puerto Rican. This is not the case for the city of Ceiba, where none of its public facilities bears the name of Luis Muñoz Marín.
The Department of Education is precisely, one of the dependencies that have the greatest responsibility to promulgate our history, and the noble acts of the leaders who planted the seeds of true justice for the benefit of the whole country. The Municipality of Ceiba shall have the opportunity to have a modern school for hundreds of students from said municipality, and contribute to new styles of disseminating the educational plan.
The Mayor of Ceiba, Gerardo A. Cruz Maldonado, Esq., has requested from the Legislature of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico that this school bear the name of the Puerto Rican governor during the mid $20^{ ext {th }}$ Century. This occasion offers us the opportunity to name this modern school that shall be in operation soon, after Luis Muñoz Marín. Thus, we contribute effectively toward offering better teaching centers and remembering a man who, throughout years as a public servant, taught us to fight for those in need everywhere in Puerto Rico.
Section 1.- To name the new second unit elementary school of the Municipality of Ceiba as Luis Muñoz Marín, after the former governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
Section 2.- This Act shall take effect immediately after its approval.
I hereby certify to the Secretary of State that the following Act No. 258 (H.B. 2931) of the $4^{ ext {th }}$.Session of the $14^{ ext {th }}$ Legislature of Puerto Rico:
AN ACT to designate the new second unit elementary school of the Municipality of Ceiba as Luis Muñoz-Marín, after the former governor for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, has been translated from Spanish to English and that the English version is correct.
In San Juan, Puerto Rico, today $6^{ ext {th }}$ of August of 2004.
