Dr. Nagant, the school administrator of Hero Academia Elementary School, logged into the QuADPRO system to check the status of her school's application for new government permit to operate for the school year 2024-2025. She carefully reviewed the application and noted that all required documents for operation, as per the Division's evaluation, were marked as "complied." Is Hero Academia Elementary School can now operate for SY 2024-2025?

Manila International School which holds government recognition to operate, reported to the Schools Division Office Manila that they have zero enrollment for Kindergarten for School Year 2024-2025. Consequently, the school will not be operating its Kindergarten program for this school year. Given that there were no Kindergarten enrollees and operations in SY 2024-2025, can the school resume operating its Kindergarten program for School Year 2025-2026, provided that they receive sufficient enrollment?

Juan, a Grade 11 student, was expelled from his school due to repeated misconduct. However, after an appeal and a thorough review, the school administration decided to lift his expulsion, allowing him to resume his education elsewhere. Despite the expulsion being lifted, the school refuses to issue his transfer credentials, preventing him from enrolling in a new school.

After due inquiry, the Department of Education finds that the school’s refusal to release Juan's transfer credentials is unjustified, given that the penalty of expulsion had already been lifted. As a result, the Department steps in to issue his transfer credentials and considers imposing administrative sanctions against the school for their noncompliance. Is this okay?
