📚 Education

Public education in Hawaii is governed by a single statewide Board of Education, making it one of the few unified school systems in the country. The University of Hawaii system — spanning community colleges, four-year campuses, and research programs — operates under its own Board of Regents. The Charter School Commission oversees independent public schools. Budget decisions, curriculum standards, and school siting all go through public processes where parents, teachers, and community members can participate.
