Hawaii School Board Says Families Should Have Distance Learning Option In The Fall
Some parents are hesitant to send their kids back to the classroom without a vaccine available for younger students. Reading time: 6 minutes.
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.

Hawaii Board of Education Approves Pay Boosts For Complex Area Leaders
The issue drew heated discussion from some board members over the “optics” of leadership pay raises in the current economic climate. Reading time: 4 minutes.
The Hawaii Board of Education voted 5-3 to approve pay increases for the state’s 15 complex area superintendents on Thursday but deferred on similar proposed increases for the deputy superintendent and seven assistant superintendents due to pandemic-related economic concerns.
Though the original proposal was to approve raises for all of these positions, board member Dwight Takeno moved late in the day to give them only to the complex area superintendents due to the uncertain financial outlook for the state Department of Education and questionable optics over executive pay boosts amid the coronavirus crisis.
