What's Being Discussed
The State Public Charter School Commission is holding a short, focused meeting on Thursday, August 27, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. The meeting has one main item of business:
- Hawaii Technology Academy is requesting a change to its school contract regarding where its blended learning program operates in Lahaina. Specifically, the school wants to remove one instructional site at 200 Kapalua Drive and replace it with a new site at 78 Ulupono Street. Both locations are in Lahaina, HI 96761.
A blended learning program combines in-person instruction at a physical site with online learning. This change would update the official address listed in the school's charter contract.
Decisions Expected
- The Commission will vote on whether to approve Hawaii Technology Academy's request to swap its Lahaina blended learning instructional site to a new address.
Who Should Pay Attention
- Families and students enrolled in Hawaii Technology Academy's blended learning program, especially those in the Lahaina area
- Hawaii Technology Academy staff affected by the location change
- Community members in Lahaina interested in local charter school operations
- Anyone with concerns or support for the site change can provide public testimony in person, via Zoom, by phone, or in writing to commission.mail@spcsc.hawaii.gov
Each speaker is allotted two minutes of testimony time. The meeting is open to the public both in person and online. Accommodations for disabilities are available by contacting the Commission at 808-586-3775.
