We wish to acknowledge the unqualified support and cooperation rendered by Superintendent Ralph Kiyosaki of the State Department of Education; Mr. Harry 'Chuck, Hawaii District Superintendent'and Dr. Kiydto Mizuba, Hawaii District DepUty Superintendent, - We also wish to recognize the able leadership of Mr. Richard Matsunaga, Principal of Hilo High Schc)1; Herbert Zane, Head Counse- lor at Hilo High School; and the efforts of members.of.the School- Within-A-School staff. Without their dedication and willingness to test a new approach, this program might not have geen possible. Although it is still too early to measure any degree of substan- tive conclusions, the demonstration clearly defines the tasks ahead: 1. The techniques of instruction as it was originally designed for thin siroject need to be further tested and validated before any conclusions can be reached. 2. The results, *tale imPressive but ifiCOnclusive, are signifi- cant enough to merit further research and study on a wider and more scientific basis; and 3. The innovative concepts applied to the educational program for low-achieving, problemroriented students of this project 4 -2- can be made applicable to other "normal". stuaents who find education irrelevant and unchallenging. The knowledge gained in this second year,of-operationwill no doubt add much to the refining of theprogram in the third year. To this end, this Center stands ready and willing. -Jack,T, Nagoshi Director Social Welfare Development and R s arch Center School cial Work city of Hawaii 5 A REPORT by Robert T.

The financial impact on PBS Hawai‘i was sharp and deep, reflecting the suffering of our fellow Islanders. When schools shut down, students lacking digital access were hard-pressed to join their classmates online. As an educational media organization, we had already made these moves: • Substantially strengthened our statewide over-the-air broadcast relay system so that many homes in under-resourced areas across the Islands can better receive our programming, without the household cost of wi-fi, cable, or satellite dishes. • Launched, in 2019, an additional channel, PBS KIDS 24-7, distributed over-the- air, on cable, online and via satellite, which provides curriculum-rich, engaging programming for children ages 2-8.
