Community Meetings: Strategic Plan & ESSA

The Board of Education and Hawaii State Department of Education are hosting community meetings to share draft updates of the Strategic Plan to better support student success. The Governor's ESSA Team is also sharing information about new opportunities under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act. Hawaii's state plan for ESSA will be informed by the Strategic Plan. Anyone interested in public education is encouraged to attend and learn more.

​Board of Education (BOE) Co​​mmunity Meetings

BOE and Hawai‘i DOE members will update communities on progress toward supporting greater student success in public schools with an updated Strategic Plan:

  • Sha​​​​​​ring feedback from the spring 2016 outreach effort (click to view report, above), culminating in definitions of student success.
  • Gathering c​ommunity members’ input to refine draft objectives to give life to these definitions.

Governor's ESSA Team town hall meetings

The community can also participate in town hall meetings to: (1) create a shared vision for public education in Hawaii, (2) learn about the opportunities provided by the Every Student Succeeds Act, (3) to discuss a future-focused education system for Hawaii, and (4) to collect input, feedback, and advice for a new blueprint for public education in Hawaii.​ View Gover​nor's ESSA Team town hall meetings​
