What's Being Discussed

The Hawaiʻi State Board of Education is holding a community meeting on Maui as part of a statewide series to hear from residents on two key education topics:

• Graduation requirements — what students should need to complete in order to graduate from high school
• Artificial intelligence (AI) in education — how AI tools and technologies should be used in schools

This is an opportunity for community members to speak directly with Board members and education staff and share their opinions on these issues.

Decisions Expected

No formal votes or official decisions are expected at this meeting. This is a listening session — the Board is gathering community input to help inform future policy decisions on graduation requirements and AI in schools.

Who Should Pay Attention

• Parents and guardians of public school students
• Students, especially those in high school
• Teachers and school staff
• Community members interested in how Hawaiʻi's public schools are run
• Anyone with opinions on what students should learn or how technology should be used in classrooms

The meeting takes place on Thursday, November 19, 2026, from 5:00–6:30 p.m. at the University of Hawaiʻi Maui College, Kaʻaʻike Building, Room 105CD, Kahului. If you need language assistance, a sign interpreter, or wheelchair access, contact the Board office at (808) 586-3334 or BOE.Hawaii@boe.hawaii.gov at least three days in advance.
