HONOLULU (AP) — When the public schools reopen, their focus should be on helping students successfully complete the school year, Hawaii’s schools superintendent said.
State Schools Superintendent Paul LeMahieu outlined plans for reopening the schools in a memo to the district superintendent and principals.
Students won’t be penalized for school days missed because of the strike, he said.
Student progress in all grades will be assessed within the first five days after the strike, LeMahieu said. Lessons would be devised to help students meet objectives and standards.
At the end of the school year, students will be tested to determine if they should be promoted or whether they have passed courses.
The superintendent said there will be no early end of the school year for seniors, who must attend classes all day until the school day before graduation.
LeMahieu also is suspending professional development and training sessions for the rest of the school year, except for those that are legally mandated.
