STATE OF HAWAII BOARD OF EDUCATION P. 0. BOX 2360 HONOLULU, HAWAII 96804 August 28, 2008 The Honorable Linda Lingle Office of the Governor Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 Dear Governor Lingle: Your correspondence dated August 4, 2008 (received via interoffice mail on August 6) requested an accounting of Hawaii public school educators participation in the Model s Conference held in Orlando, Florida, from June 22-25, 2008. As you know, school-level decision making is an integral part of reinventing education in our State. Principals, as chief education officers, are responsible for ensuring that school and student academic needs are met. The Hawaii State Board of Education fully supports professional development and training of our school educators which is a vital investment in public education and student achievement. The Model s Conference hosted by the International Center for Leadership in Education is the nation s premier conference on K-12 education reform and student performance. A total of 644 educators representing 175 schools in 15 complex areas attended this year s conference. The total cost was $1,573,852.23, comprising general funds ($1,138,278.03) and federal/other funds ($435,574.20). The conference registration fee, including pre-conference and post-conference sessions, was $350. s and complexes paid for airfare costs. Participants received the standard $145/day per diem rate accorded to all state employees for out-of-state travel to cover hotel accommodations and meals. It is also important to note that 72 percent or 462 of the participants registered for the Model s Conference by March 31. Another 125 registered in April for a total of 587, or 91 percent, of all Hawaii public school participants. This was well in advance of notification of budget cuts. The Executive Memorandum No. 08-03 dated June 23, 2008, regarding FY09 Budget Execution Policies and Instruction was received by the Department of Education after the Model s Conference had already begun. Subsequent to receiving your memorandum, Superintendent Patricia Hamamoto issued a memo on June 30, 2008, implementing cost saving measures for Fiscal Year 2008-09 that limits out-of-state travel to those mandated by federal or special program requirements, or are at no cost to the State. Sincerely, Attachment Donna R. Ikeda Chairperson AN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
