Hawaii teachers face furloughs as pandemic hits tax revenue
By AUDREY McAVOYDecember 16, 2020 GMT
HONOLULU (AP) — The Hawaii state Department of Education plans to furlough public school teachers a total of six days through June as part of Gov. David Ige’s effort to cut spending to cope with a pandemic-induced plunge in state tax revenue.
Superintendent Christina Kishimoto outlined the plan to staff in a memo emailed late Monday. Ige had announced furlough plans for other state workers last week.
The first furlough day for teachers would be Jan. 4, which had previously been scheduled as a teacher work day when students would not be in school.
