The Hawaii State Board of Education is developing its strategic plan for Hawaii’s public education system and has launched a Strategic Planning Engagement Survey as part of a comprehensive community engagement process.

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

The survey is 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.

Citizens are invited to take the online survey, which should take no more than ten minutes to complete, before the Oct. 11, 2022, deadline.

Results will be compiled and shared with the board and the public in late October or early November.

In addition, the Board will conduct open community meetings throughout the state to discuss in more detail the public’s opinions and insights into how Hawaii’s public education system can improve in meeting the needs of all students.

Participate in the process and share how Maui’s schools can be improved.

According to the Board of Education, “Your input is very important to the success of this process. Please complete the survey and encourage your colleagues, friends, and family to join you in this important opportunity to shape the future of education in Hawaii.”
