Dear valued family of Hawaii’s public schools:

The State Board of Education would like your input as the Board develops the strategic

plan for Hawaii’s public education system. The Board launched a survey designed to provide

the public with the opportunity to share its opinions on the priority areas that the Board must

focus on to improve the state’s public education system and provide insight into how well the

system is currently meeting the needs of students, families, schools, and communities.

We invite you to take the online survey, which should take no more than 10 minutes to

complete, before the October 11, 2022 deadline. The survey can be found at

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PVP528P. The survey is accessible by computer, phone, or tablet but can be completed only once on each device.

Your input is very important to the success of this process. Please have each member of

your family complete the survey and encourage your colleagues, friends, and neighbors to join

in this important opportunity to shape the future of education in Hawaii.

Sincerely,

Bruce D. Voss Keith T. Hayashi

Chairperson, Board of Education Superintendent, Department of Education
