  • Hawaii
  • Yvette Bynum (bio) and Brenda Mendiola (bio)

Hawaii is a single school district state operating under the direction of a Board of Education with members appointed by the governor. Funds are distributed from the state level to local schools using a weighted formula that provides a dollar amount per student and additional funds for certain categories of students such as English Language Learners (ELL) and socioeconomically challenged students. Hawaii's funding includes an operating budget for expenses related to running the schools and a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget for expenses related to maintaining and upgrading facilities. The major funding source for the operating budget comes from the general fund (82 percent) which is primarily state tax revenue. However, there is no property tax fund or prescribed formula for allocating funds to schools. The P-12 system is comprised of 292 schools including 37 public charter schools. The higher education system is comprised of 16 public and private non-profit postsecondary institutions, including the University of Hawaii's 10 system sites. The tourism and construction industries are major contributors to Hawaii's economy and pre-pandemic were projected to show 4 percent revenue growth until F Y24.1 Tourism is taking a hit due to COVID 19 travel restrictions with monthly passengers down from 30,235 in January of 2020 to 1,699 in September2 making it unlikely that the pre-pandemic projections will be met.

funding priorities for p-12

One of the goals in the Hawaii Department of Education strategic plan is to increase the number of working age adults with a 2-year or 4-year college degree. Funding the Early College program continues to be a priority with $1 million budgeted, which allows high school students to earn college credits, and the Hawaii Promise Scholarship Program with $700,000 budgeted, which provides financial support for students from qualifying families to attend community colleges at no cost.

changes to funding formula for p-12 and/or higher education

Hawaii's budget runs on a fiscal biennial basis that is submitted in odd-numbered years and a supplemental budget of new proposals in the even-numbered years. The FY 19-21 budget of $2.1 billion covers school expenses and a separate $565 million for the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) budget to maintain facilities. The P-12 school system is designated to receive $150 million for building new schools, and repair and maintenance [End Page 269] costs while the University system is budgeted for $120 million. Hawaii is the top state when it comes to funding higher education funding 77 cents for every $1000 its residents earn.3

pressing state issues

The numbers of socioeconomically challenged and homeless students (50 percent of the school's population) and "military-impacted"communities with 8 percent of the school's total population, are stressing the state's social resources along with the increasing costs of goods and services (22 percent since 2008). The state is experiencing a teacher shortage, especially in rural and remote areas. Salaries must compete with those on the mainland where living expenses are often lower and salaries higher. Hawaii teachers are represented by the Hawaii State Teachers Association (HTS). The organization secured an agreement with the state for a four-year contract that would include teacher pay raises each year for four years beginning in 2017. Budget shortfalls due to the COVID-19 pandemic prompted a request to suspend the pay raises but the request was tabled. Hawaii's portion of the CARES Act Grant was $43,385,229. The majority of the CARES Act funds are allocated for summer learning programs, purchasing student learning devices, and increasing connectivity for students and staff.4

exclusive to p-12: what are the alternatives to traditional public school offered by your state? what does the trend in funding look like for these alternatives?

Of the 292 public schools in Hawaii, 36 are charter schools with large numbers of students also attending private schools. Charter schools continue to grow and receive funding including the latest addition, DreamHouse Ewa Beach.

total dollar amount for hawaii's per pupil expenditure (excluding local and federal funding)?

夏威夷

代替摘要,这里是内容的简要摘录:

夏威夷州是一个单一的学区州,在教育委员会的指导下运作,其成员由州长任命。资金使用加权公式从州一级分配给本地学校,该公式为每名学生提供了一个美元的金额,并为某些类别的学生(例如英语学习者(ELL)和受到社会经济挑战的学生)提供了额外的资金。夏威夷的资金包括与学校运营相关的运营预算和与设施维护和升级相关的资本改善计划(CIP)预算。运营预算的主要资金来源来自普通基金(占82%),主要是州税收。但是,没有财产税基金或用于向学校分配资金的规定公式。P-12系统由292所学校组成,其中包括37所公共特许学校。高等教育系统由16个公立和私立非营利性高等教育机构组成,其中包括夏威夷大学的10个系统站点。旅游业和建筑业是夏威夷经济的主要贡献者,大流行前预计到24财年收入将增长4%。1由于COVID 19的旅行限制,旅游业受到重创,月旅客量从2020年1月的30,235人下降到9月2日的1,699人,这使得无法满足大流行前的预测。

p -12的供资重点

夏威夷教育部战略计划的目标之一是增加拥有2年或4年大学学位的工作年龄成年人的数量。为早期大学计划提供资金仍然是一个优先事项,预算为100万美元,可使高中学生获得大学学分;为夏威夷无极奖学金计划,预算为700,000美元,可为符合条件的家庭的学生提供经济支持,使他们能够免费就读社区大学成本。

更改-12岁和/或高等教育的资助公式

夏威夷的预算以财政年度为基础,在奇数年提交,补充预算在偶数年提交。19-21财年的21亿美元预算用于支付学校开支,另外还有5.65亿美元的资本改善计划(CIP)预算用于维护设施。P-12学校系统将获得1.5亿美元的资金,用于建设新学校以及维修和维护费用[End Page 269],而大学系统的预算为1.2亿美元。夏威夷是高等教育经费最高的州,其居民每赚1000美元可获得77美分。3

紧迫的国家问题

受社会经济挑战和无家可归的学生(占学校人口的50%)和“受军事影响”的社区(占学校总人口的8%)的数量,正向该州的社会资源以及商品和服务成本的增加(22%)施加压力。自2008年起)。该州教师短缺,特别是在农村和偏远地区。工资必须与生活费用通常较低而工资较高的内地企业竞争。夏威夷老师由夏威夷州教师协会(HTS)代表。该组织与州政府达成了一项为期四年的合同,其中包括从2017年开始的四年中每年的教师加薪。由于COVID-19大流行而导致的预算短缺,导致要求暂停加薪的请求,但此请求已提交。夏威夷在CARES Act Grant中所占的份额为$ 43,385,229。《 CARES法案》的大部分资金分配给暑期学习计划,购买学生学习设备以及增强学生和教职员工的联系。4

-12页的专有内容您所在州提供的传统公立学校的替代方案有哪些?这些替代方案的资金趋势如何?

在夏威夷的292所公立学校中,有36所是特许学校,大量学生也在私立学校就读。特许学校不断增长,并获得资金,包括最新的梦想之家伊娃海滩。

夏威夷人均每位学生支出的总金额(不包括地方和联邦资助)?

夏威夷在...上排名第15
