What's Being Discussed

  • An update from the Department of Education on sexual violence prevention education in Hawaii's public schools.
  • A proposed revision to Board Policy 101-15, which focuses on student-centered priorities and goals.
  • A proposed revision to Board Policy 102-15, which covers high school graduation requirements and commencement (graduation ceremonies).
  • Approval of minutes from the previous committee meeting held on April 9, 2026.

Decisions Expected

  • The committee is expected to vote on whether to move forward with revising Board Policy 101-15 (Focus on Students).
  • The committee is also expected to vote on whether to move forward with revising Board Policy 102-15 (High School Graduation Requirements and Commencement).

These votes would authorize the revision process to begin — not finalize the new policy language itself.

Who Should Pay Attention

  • Parents and students, especially high schoolers who could be affected by changes to graduation requirements.
  • Educators and school staff involved in curriculum, student support, or health education.
  • Community members concerned about sexual violence prevention programs in schools.
  • Anyone interested in how the Board of Education sets its core student-focused priorities.

The meeting is open to the public in person at 1390 Miller Street, Room 404, Honolulu, or online via WebEx on Thursday, August 13, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Public testimony is accepted on each agenda item.
