The Education Commission of the Puerto Rico House of Representatives had to cancel three public hearings in September at the request of the Department of Education. According to Commission President Tatiana Pérez Ramírez, the agency needed more time to gather the required information.

This development indicates that the Department of Education has yet to provide the necessary answers to the Commission. The cancellations occurred within a month, prompting concerns about the agency's responsiveness.
