Extractions: It's All About Choice Alternatives to Public School Education on Hawai'i Island by Hadley Catalano As the optimism of summer's vacationing children slowly fades into a cranky reality that school will be beginning soon, many parents cheer. Although the cheering may be quieted by the fact that this may be your fifth grader's last elementary school year - or maybe your high school sophomore doesn't fit in at her public school and wants to try something new. Many parents, who once believed the aches and pains of choosing a school came after their child received a high school diploma, are now faced with the challenge sooner. The problems and frustrations that many Big Island residents feel towards Hawai'i public schools has caused many to consider alternative educational outlets for their children. However, the decision to place a child into a boarding, private, or charter school, either close or far away from home is complicated. There is location to think about, class size, transportation, and, of course, finances. Making a selection from the wide variety of alternative educational institutions can be daunting and leave many frustrated with the endeavor of trying to pair their child with an appropriate school.

APPA | Facilities Manager | March/April 1999 | Article 1 Energy Equity Lost and Found Rebuilding America s k12 schools by Lorenz V. Schoff REBUILD hawaii schools. Honolulu, hawaii Action Partnership http://legacy.appa.org/resources/Facilities_Manager/990304/article1.html
Extractions: by Lorenz V. Schoff Larry Schoff is the national K-12 school sector coordinator for Rebuild America, a U.S. Department of Education program and an APPA strategic alliance partner. He is a member of APPA's K-12 Task Force and can be reached at lschoff@bellatlantic.com Our K-12 schools are facing some hard facts of life and difficult choices as we move into the 21st century. After decades of tight budgets and deferred maintenance, the need to repair and upgrade deteriorating and inadequate K-12 school buildings is painfully obvious all across the United States. At the same time, enrollment numbers continue to increase. The school-age population, which has grown steadily since 1990, is expected to continue to grow for the next decade. Changing times require new and more complex instructional programs, adding building, repair, and renovation needs in our schools. Federal mandates require schools to address issues such as indoor air quality, lead, disability and accessibility, radon, and asbestos exposure. A 1995 GAO report (U.S. General Accounting Office) estimates that about $112 billion (1994-95 dollars) is needed to repair or upgrade school buildings to good overall condition and to comply with federal mandates. About one-third of the 10,000 schools surveyed for the report needed extensive repair or replacement of one or more buildings; 60 percent of schools, many in otherwise adequate condition, reported at least one major building feature, such as heating, ventilation, or plumbing, in disrepair. In over half the surveyed schools (58 percent) at least one aspect of environmental quality, such as ventilation, heating, or lighting, was unsatisfactory. Based on these facts, the rebuilding of our nation's schools is a wise economic and political reality.

But if all goes as planned, K-12 students in California may soon have access to an array of rich content previously unavailable to them due to the limitations of slow bandwidth.
