OHA supports Lingle bill on local school boards


The Advertiser reports that "The state Office of Hawaiian Affairs endorsed Gov. Linda Lingle's local school boards bill yesterday, arguing that too many Hawaiian children are doing poorly under the existing statewide school system. Haunani Apoliona, who chairs the OHA board of trustees, said people should be allowed to vote on the issue in November. Apoliona said OHA has not determined whether Hawaiian students would do better under local boards, only that Hawaiians, like others in the community, should be involved in the discussion."

And the Star-Bulletin reports that "While Gov. Linda Lingle's plan to create multiple school boards has foundered at the Legislature, the issue is still mobilizing forces, both pro and con. The trustees of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs voted yesterday to support the governor's call to replace the statewide public school system with at least seven locally elected school boards. 'Rather than helping underprivileged students, the system further compounds social and economic disadvantages,' OHA Chairwoman Haunani Apoliona said, noting that Hawaiian children have the lowest test scores and graduation rates of any ethnic group in the state."
