The CNMI Public School System received a $250,000 grant yesterday so it
could complete the Chamorro dictionary and to fund other needs of the PSS
Chamorro Carolinian Language Heritage Studies program.

U.S. Rep. Rep. Gregorio Sablan presented PSS officials with a giant replica
of the check during yesterday's Board of Education meeting on Capital Hill.

Sablan said PSS will use the funds for the publication of the revised
Chamorro-English dictionary, which has been stalled for years due to funding
woes.
