Hawaii School Board Says Families Should Have Distance Learning Option In The Fall

The Hawaii Board of Education on Thursday directed state education officials to formulate a distance learning plan before the new school year, giving them two weeks to figure out how to address the needs of families who still prefer virtual learning.
The task of figuring out how to provide a fully virtual option — or whether to do so at all — had fallen largely upon individual schools, with little guidance at the state or complex area level. So board members are asking the DOE to come up with solutions before the start of the school year on Aug. 3.
