Hayashi State of Hawaii Board of Education Chairperson Catherine Payne Members of the State of Hawaii Board of Education Hawaii Governor David Y. Ige From: Concerned educators of Hawaii’s public schools Subject: The Safety Our Students Deserve The first weeks of the 2021–22 school year have been incredibly alarming as COVID-19 case counts skyrocket to record levels. Health and safety guidelines, including proper masking and social distancing, go unenforced in our schools. Reporting and notification remain inconsistent. A lack of personal protective equipment, improper ventilation, and other outstanding issues are not being addressed. We are seeing frequent failures to adhere to guidance with no support regarding COVID-19 response in our schools. This ultimately hurts the education we all believe is essential for our keiki. During the 2020–21 school year, the Hawaii State Teachers Association (HSTA) and the Hawaii State Department of Education (HIDOE) agreed to modify the HSTA collective bargaining agreement to ensure safer practices in the workplace in light of the COVID-19 pandemic in the form of a memorandum of understanding (MOU). However, this MOU expired on June 30, 2021, and the state refused to bargain a renewal and update of the MOU for the 2021–22 school year.
