Supporting Hawaiʻis Public Charter Schools
Public charter schools across Hawaiʻi serve diverse communities, each with its own approach to learning. The Hawaii Public Charter Schools Network works to support those schools—advocating for fair resources, strengthening connections, and helping ideas grow across the islands.
How We Support Charter Schools
-
The Network works with the Legislature, Board of Education, and state leaders to advocate for fair funding, facilities support, and policies that reflect how public charter schools operate in Hawaiʻi. This includes ongoing efforts to address funding gaps and improve long-term sustainability for schools.
-
Charter schools operate independently within a single statewide system, which can make day-to-day operations complex. The Network provides guidance, training, and shared resources to help schools navigate governance, finance, compliance, and leadership challenges.
-
The Network brings schools together to share ideas, solve challenges, and build stronger relationships across islands. This includes convenings, partnerships, and opportunities to collaborate with organizations that support education in Hawaiʻi.
A Commitment to Hawaiʻi’s Students and Communities
Public charter schools across Hawaiʻi are built around the needs of their communities—offering place-based, culture-driven, and innovative approaches to learning. The Hawaii Public Charter Schools Network supports that work by strengthening schools, advocating for equitable resources, and helping each school stay grounded in its mission.
