  • Hawaii State Public Library System Have Been Made by a Team of Very Dedicated Staff, and I Am Blessed to Work with Them to Support Our Communities
    DAVID Y. IGE CATHERINE PAYNE GOVERNOR CHAIRPERSON STATE OF HAWAI‘I BOARD OF EDUCATION P.O. BOX 2360 HONOLULU, HAWAI‘I 96804 June 4, 2020 TO: Board of Education FROM: Catherine Payne Chairperson, Board of Education AGENDA ITEM: Board Action on State Librarian’s evaluation for 2019-2020 School Year: end-of-year evaluation The Board of Education’s (“Board”) state librarian evaluation process, revised on August 15, 2019,1 includes an end-of-year final evaluation of the state librarian’s performance on predetermined professional standards based on the American Library Association’s description of required skills for library directors and multiple public library director evaluations from across the country and annual state librarian priorities. The state librarian is to provide the Board with a self-assessment along with supporting documents and evidence to help inform its evaluation. State Librarian Stacey Aldrich’s materials related to the end-of-year self-assessment are attached as Exhibit A. The evaluation process envisions the Board conducting its end-of-year evaluation of the state librarian in executive session, taking action on the assessments in public, and publishing its ratings and comments on its website. However, on June 27, 2019, the Hawaii Supreme Court issued an opinion regarding discussion of personnel matters in executive session.2 Based on this opinion, the discussion of the state librarian’s performance should occur in public because there is no clear, legitimate privacy interest in highly personal and intimate information, as described in the opinion. Because the entire discussion will occur in public, it is more appropriate for the official meeting minutes to serve as the record of the evaluation rather than a separate summary document.

  • Window to the Sea: a Study of the Waikiki Aquarium
    WINDOW TO THE SEA: A STUDY OF THE WAIKIKI AQUARIUM BINA M. CHUN Researcher REPORT No.1, 1974 Legislative Reference Bureau State Capitol Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 Price: $3.50 FOREWORD During the Seventh Session of the Legislature of the State of Hawaii, 'both the House of Representatives and the Senate adopted resolutions requesting the Legislative Reference Bureau to undertake a study of the Waikiki Aquarium. Window to the Sea is the result of those requests. This study is in keeping with the declared objectives and roles of both the Bureau and the Legislature. It satisfies the role of "advisor to the legislature" by suggesting alter­ native means of action in the future development of the Aquarium. It leaves the policy making decisions to the elected body for which such decisions were intended. By offering a view of the causes and effects of various actions, it is hoped that the legislature itself may determine the future course of development of the Waikiki Aquarium. Many individuals and agencies have been extremely helpful and cooperative in supplying the data and general information necessary for this study. The Bureau is grateful for the contributions of the Waikiki Aquarium staff, the staff at the University of Hawaii, and the numerous other individuals who were so important to the final report. The Bureau is most appreciative of the work of Dawn Suyenaga for her survey and research aid. It is also deeply indebted to Carol Lynn Kim for her tolerance and quiet perseverance during the trying period of preparation for publication, and for her competent and efficient performance of the numerous secretarial chores that contribute so much to this kind of study.
