  • Request from state to create a plan for additional $236, 000.00 Purpose is to be able to “petition” the legislature with supporting evidence to justify the request to fully fund the proposed DOE budget. What would Kalaheo do with an additional $236K:
  • Fully implement the one-to-one program by purchasing chromebooks for the incoming freshmen and the senior class so all 4 grade levels have computers
  • Set aside money for teachers to be trained to increase effective utilization of computers in the classroom, provide sub days for training and make tech lesson planning a priority
  • Refresh teacher equipment – need 68 new laptops for teachers because teacher laptops warranties will be expiring. Purchase in increments
  • Update the MAC lab, replace 30 computers with expired warranties.
  • Status for the request for supplemental resources for math? Proposal was sent to CAS regarding request for materials to support math learning – in alignment with strategies to address the gap in math results. We are waiting for approval from complex to go ahead with the purchase of the supplemental materials.
