Under state law Hawaii Revised Statutes §302D-17(e), the State Public Charter School Commission has the authority to direct governing boards and charter schools to take appropriate action to address serious health and safety issues. On March 4, the commission accepted Superintendent Christina Kishimoto’s offer to coordinate and direct all of our 37 public charter schools for the purposes of responding to threats posed by a potential COVID-19 outbreak. We understand this means that public charter schools may not take actions such as closure without the superintendent’s approval. In addition, public charter schools are expected and required to follow all HIDOE procedures related to COVID-19 response. This would include all the memos posted on the DOE website.
