  • Native Hawaiian Education Council
    Native Hawaiian Education Council April 3, 2017 Lance A. Mizumoto, Chairperson Brian De Lima Vice Chairperson State of Hawai‘i, Board of Education 1390 Miller Street, Room 309 Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96813 Via: [email protected] Re: April 4, 2017 – General Business Meeting IV. A. Reports of Board Committees, Board Members, and Superintendent – Student Achievement Committee (SAC) Report on (1) Committee Action on Every Student Succeeds Act (“ESSA”) impacts on school accountability Dear Chair Mizumoto and Vice Chair De Lima The Native Hawaiian Education Council (NHEC or the Council) would like to convey SUPPORT for the agenda item re: the Department of Education`s (DOE) recommendations about the ESSA impacts on school accountability heard by the SAC. The Council is mindful that Hawai‘i operates in a unique context of having a single State Educational Agency (SEA) and Local Educational Agency (LEA); two official languages—English and Hawaiian—that are mediums of instruction in the State’s public education system; and a public charter school system that is a blend of Hawaiian language immersion and Hawaiian culture based schools and in the midst of implementing the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)—the most pervasive federal policy change since No Child Left Behind in 2001, returning control to State’s by Congressional intent. We specifically support the following DOE elements and recommendations: A) Design principles: State, not federal driven; timely, user-friendly and consistent reporting; information-driven accountability; local flexibility; redefined federal ESSA school accountability; statewide impact (including public charter schools); and multi-level schools. B) N-size of 20 which is significantly lower than the current n-size of 40 and would include more meaningful student subgroup data for analysis and reporting; we also acknowledge the Special Education Advisory Council`s recommendation of a n-size of 10; 7 35 B I S H O P S TREET , S U I T E 224 H ONOLULU , H AWAI ‘ I 9 6 8 1 3 P HONE : 8 0 8 - 5 2 3 - 6 4 3 2 E MAIL : NHEC @ NHEC .

  • Saint Raphael the Archangel The
    Saint Raphael the Archangel The Guide A weekly newsletter for the school community Volume 5, Issue 11 November 3, 2016 From the Principal’s Desk Mrs. Kim Vangel Dear St. Raphael School Families, This is a very big week for St. Raphael with lots of great things going on! First, we have the annual Black & Gold Dinner Auction, the most important fundraiser of the year for St. Raphael the Archangel School. So many, many thanks go to Jaime Richards and her friends and family - she has worked tirelessly to make this the best auction ever, and I know she could not have done it without the support of all those who love her. There are too many parents, teachers, and parishioners to name who have helped prepare for the auction, and who will be working this weekend to make the event a success. Thanks to all of you! In the midst of all the auction preparation, our school community stepped up to help other students in need and we did it in typical SRA Fabulous Style! Through the efforts of Mrs. Runiewicz, Ms. Wood, Miss Amsler, Mrs. Berns, and Miss Imo, our school raised over $800 in less than a week to donate to the schools in Louisiana that have been destroyed by the flooding there. We also donated extra desks, chairs, books and cabinets to help these schools get back on their feet. This entire effort is being supported by Channel 2 and their Saturday morning show, ThreadUp STL. We welcomed their TV crew on Wednesday morning when they picked up all of the donated items and funds - what a great way to show our SRA Spirit! And finally, we are all watching carefully as the Archdiocese is making decisions about the future of some of our neighboring parish schools.
