Overview
On April 18 at the Board of Education's General Business Meeting, Supt. Christina M. Kishimoto identified promises to our students to be achieved in every public school by 2030, organized around
five themes:
|
HAWAI‘I | Students will be educated within a public school system that is grounded in
HĀ, powers a multilingual society, and honors Hawai‘i’s local and global contribution.
— MARKERS: Nā Hopena A‘o; languages; culture; context; place-based; safety & total well-being
|
|
EQUITY | Students will experience strong relationships and supports that mitigate disempowering differences to enable them to thrive academically, socially, and civically.
— MARKERS: Access; personalization; community; closing achievement gaps; quality
|
SCHOOL DESIGN
| Students will be immersed in excellent learning environments that are thoughtfully designed around a community’s power to contribute to a thriving, sustainable Hawai‘i. Learn more.
— MARKERS: Core values; curriculum; infrastructure; magnets; college & career; partners
|
EMPOWERMENT
| Students will develop their authentic voice as contributors to equity, excellence and innovation, by providing input on what they learn, how they learn, and where they learn.
— MARKERS: Engagement; civic & policy voice; educational leadership; discovery; choice
|
INNOVATION
| Students will engage in rigorous, technology-rich, problem-solving learning that enables them to solve authentic community challenges and develop pathways to goals.
— MARKERS: Applied learning; design thinking; project-based learning; creativity
|
These are not new ideas: They draw from extensive community outreach during our last phase of strategic planning, our
HĀ policy, and our work implementing the 2017-2020 Strategic Plan. The goal with our next 10 years is to identify,
What will make these promises a reality for every student in every school by 2030? What does that look like, and how do we get there?
PLAN PHASES
Phase I feedback from the community
(click to view news release) was collected through August 1, and included:
- 83 stakeholder groups registered and

- You can still take our "Stake in the Ground" survey, launched during Phase II, to identify how you would like to help public schools with this work.

When approved by the Board of Education in early 2020, the 2030 Promise Plan will guide our policies, procedures, operations, planning and other activities to ensure we’re on track to deliver on our promises.
