Abstract	This study explores the challenges encountered by teachers in implementing Department Order (D.O.) 002 s. 2024, or the Immediate Removal of Administrative Tasks for Public School Teachers in Small Schools within Marilog District B, Davao City. This study is qualitative, specifically phenomenology, which focuses on the lived experiences of the participants. The findings revealed significant challenges that hinder the implementation of this policy, underscoring the urgent need for its refinement, such as Insufficient support, Administrative burden, and a One-size-fits-all approach. While facing these challenges, teachers developed coping mechanisms, namely, Time management, Collaboration, and Resourcefulness. The study highlights the importance of developing tailored solutions that address the unique needs and circumstances of small schools in the district. One key recommendation is the provision of additional support and resources, such as dedicated administrative officers, to alleviate teachers’ workload. Reducing administrative burdens can enhance teachers’ job satisfaction and allow them to focus more on instructional duties, ultimately benefiting students. The results of this research carry important implications for policymakers and the Department of Education, suggesting that more context-specific and nuanced approaches are essential for effective policy implementation. By recognizing and addressing the distinct challenges faced by schools, especially smaller ones, policymakers can craft more responsive policies that better support teachers and promote improved educational outcomes. This study provides valuable insights into the ongoing discourse on the critical role of teacher support and effective policy implementation in advancing educational quality.
