VI. Discussion Items
- Presentation on College and Career Readiness Indicators for the Class of 2021
Note: The Board took agenda item VI.A after agenda item VI.B.
Board Chairperson Payne called on Stephen Schatz, Executive Director, Hawai‘i P-20 Partnerships for Education, and Lloyd Grieger, GEAR UP Data Analyst, Hawai‘i P-20 Partnerships for Education, to present on college and career readiness indicators (“CCRI”) for the Class of 2021.
Schatz explained that this report is on public and charter school students who graduated from public high schools in 2021. He stated that the report includes indicators of success after these students graduated from high school. Schatz added that collaboration continues to improve with data sharing so that everyone is working together to get more students prepared for what students want to do after graduation.
Schatz explained that a comparison of the Class of 2021 data to data collected prior to the COVID-19 pandemic shows that fewer students are enrolling in community colleges. He acknowledged the Department for its positive improvements in on-time graduation rates, which continue to increase upward towards 86%. Schatz noted that this data point tracks the percentage of freshmen who graduate on time, not the percentage of seniors who graduate. He clarified that this data point is very difficult to move.
Schatz outlined slide 6 and noted that there is a gap in state assessment scores in spring 2020, while the Class of 2021 students were in their junior year, because students did not take the state assessment that year. He also stated that for science the end of course exam scores remain flat.
Schatz stated that the ACT exam participation rate among high school juniors declined between 2016 and 2021. He emphasized that this is important context to keep in mind while looking at the fact that ACT scores are going up and encouraged caution when analyzing this.
Schatz outlined slide 8 on dual credit and explained that dual credit has remained on a positive trajectory, which was tough to do since everything transitioned to online learning. He stated that advanced placement has been affected the most by the COVID-19 pandemic because fewer students took the test during this time. Schatz stated that Career and Technical Education (“CTE”) concentrators continue to rise and academies in the Department’s schools encourage students to think about courses that may lead to a career.
Schatz outlined slide 11 on students getting into college and being ready for college by testing, demonstrating readiness, or earning credit in high school through dual credit. He stated that students are graduating from high school with English and Math, ready to go to college. Schatz recognized the following schools for their work to help students be college and career ready: Waimea High School, Kapolei High School, Maui High School, Lahainaluna High School, and Kealakehe High School.
Schatz stated that the CCRI report shows some areas of concern which is not a surprise and areas of hope with collaboration and alignment efforts.
Board Member Fallin asked why there was a decline in the number of applications to two-year colleges. Schatz replied that generally more underrepresented groups attend two-year colleges and there has been a significant drop in the Native Hawaiian college going rate overall.
Board Member Fallin asked if data is related to students who are enrolled and if there has been a drop on applications. Schatz confirmed that the only application data collected is for the University of Hawaii and it is not always correlated with enrollment.
Board Member Fallin asked how high schools could get more students to apply for college because financing may be a huge issue for these underrepresented groups. Schatz replied that high schools are doing a good job at outreach by holding events for families. He stated that there has been a decline in the Free Application for Federal Student Aid applications but this information has been added to the longitudinal data system so counselors can identify students to reach out to.
Schatz stated that during times of financial crisis in the past community college enrollment increased however that is not the case right now. He stated that the community colleges offer good transition programs to other opportunities.
Board Member Voss stated that Hawaii P-20’s work is important. He stated that ACT scores is an important indicator of the state of the school system and that it should reflect the cumulative knowledge of students in math, English, and science, but there has been no progress from 2016 to 2021, despite ongoing efforts. Board Member Voss emphasized that areas need to be changed and he would like to know what areas need to be looked at.
Schatz replied that collectively the education system needs to ensure that students are prepared academically and excited about their future.
Board Member Arakaki stated that many principals are looking at this data and looking at ways to move efforts to the middle and elementary levels. He expressed appreciation for the examples shared and noted that this is how the Board can look at systematic changes by getting involved with other groups to gain success and identify areas to work on for students.
Board Student Representative Kyla Musso highlighted that the Department emphasizes college and career readiness for students and she is interested in dual credit resources with community colleges. She asked if, in general, students who take dual credit courses in high school are more likely to enroll in college. Schatz confirmed that Musso is correct and the college going rate of dual credit participants is 80%.
Board Student Representative Musso emphasized that as a student who participates in the dual credit program this has been a game changer and provided a realistic picture of what life as an undergraduate student will be like.
Board Member Namauʻu asked if the University of Hawaii collects data from existing high school students on what they are planning to pursue. Schatz stated that exit surveys are not collected but there is a survey on student perceptions.
Greiger stated that Harold K.L. Castle Foundation held focus groups to try to determine student desires and needs, which revealed that many students want to stay and work in Hawaii, but that the educational system needs to change to actualize these goals.
Board Member Namauʻu emphasized that it is important to hear from students about what students are striving towards.
- Update on Department of Education’s supplemental budget for Fiscal Year 2022-2023, including status on budget priorities and additional allocations resulting from Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (“ESSER”) Maintenance of Effort (“MOE”) requirements
Note: The Board took agenda item VI.B before agenda item VI.A.
Board Chairperson Payne called on Keith Hayashi, Interim Superintendent, Department of Education, and Brian Hallett, Assistant Superintendent, Office of Fiscal Services, Department of Education, to present an update on the Department’s supplemental budget for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
Hayashi outlined the Department’s supplemental budget for fiscal year 2022-2023. He explained that the legislature is expected to make its final decisions in the coming weeks.
Hallett stated that the Department remains hopeful that the legislature will restore state funding for numerous positions that the Department used ESSER funds to pay for. He also stated that the Department is hopeful that the legislature will also allocate state funds to teacher differentials. Hallett explained that there are a handful of items that the House and Senate have agreed upon, so these will go to conference committee, including $10 million in non-recurring funds for workers compensation and the source of facilities funding (whether from federal or state funds). Hallett stated that there are major differences in the governor’s draft budget and the Senate version, especially on the one time funding meant to comply with ESSER MOE. He clarified that ESSER MOE requires that “level of support must be maintained by the fiscal year 2017, 2018, and 2019.” He emphasized that any funding increases for any other state agency or non-Department purposes means that the legislature will need to allocate additional funds to the Department.
Hallett reminded everyone to consider sustainability when funding payroll for fiscal year 2022-2023 because ESSER funding has a finite date.
Board Chairperson Payne asked for clarification as to whether some funds being held back in the legislature will not be not coming through for the Department and if there are any assurances from the legislature. Hallett expressed confidence that the legislature will restore Department funding because both the House and Senate funded restorations in their drafts, but noted that it is typically not discussed during conference.
Hallett stated that the Department presented the Board with a plan A and plan B for ESSER funds and that these plans assumed that the legislature would restore the Department’s budget. He stated that, at this point, it looks like the assumption is reasonable.
Board Chairperson Payne asked whether the Department would need to return funds if the legislature does no restore funds. Hallett replied that it would depend on whether the state met MOE requirements for ESSER funds.
Board Member Voss expressed appreciation to the legislature for its support of teacher differentials and expressed his hope that the legislature could also address compression issues. He explained that he asked that Board Chairperson Payne place this on the agenda because the MOE requirement creates an opportunity for one-time additional funds, which should be used for purposes consistent with ESSER requirements and asked how Board members would want to spend these one-time funds.
Hayashi stated that the legislature has been supportive of the Department’s efforts and Hallett shared that the Department is looking to support these efforts.
Board Member Voss stated that he would like to see some money set aside for affordable teacher housing projects for young teachers.
Board Member Fallin stated that one interest is working with the University of Hawaii to identify and develop best practices to increase the number of students attending school to reduce chronic absenteeism. She stated that she would like to do an in-depth review of data, beyond the time spent by staff on everyday operations and include best practices from data relating to juvenile justice.
Board Member Fallin stated that funds should be used to support teachers in any way.
Board Member Namauʻu expressed support for teacher housing, incentives for teachers, and any way the Department can support teachers.
Board Member Berg stated that the Board passed standards for fine arts and world languages and that the funds should be used to make these two areas a priority for professional development and recruitment.
Board Member Asher stated that many part-time teachers want to be a full-time teacher and stated that funding should go to programs that allow these employees to achieve this. She also stated that the Board needs qualitative and quantitative data relating to chronic absenteeism. Board Member Asher stated that the Department also needs to develop training for security guards.
VII. Late Public Testimony on Board Agenda Items
Board Chairperson Payne called for public testimony from any individuals who did not have an opportunity to testify on earlier agenda items.

Enoka Bingo, member of the public, testified on agenda item VI.B., Update on the Department’s Supplemental Budget for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 He stated that he would like to read a certified letter to the Board on maladministration, which is a crime and stated that the Board can be arrested and held due to ignorance of the law.
Susan Pcola-Davis, member of the public, testified on agenda item IV.E., Board Member Reports on March 5, 2022 ‘Aha Kauleo meeting.
