In a brief phone interview with Newsday, De Freitas said the ministry would resume conversations with TTUTA on issues at schools. She expressed her gratitude for this approach, as opposed to having to send an e-mail in the hopes of a response.
“That kind of collaboration will allow both entities to see what challenges there are, discuss solutions, and restore facilities,” she said.
