VIEW EMAIL ONLINE Giving Thanks Earlier this month I finalized my tour of all 15 complexes. I've learned about and witnessed a lot of exciting educational practices and team approaches for student success.   With so many bright spots across the state, we are showcasing a number of success stories on our website. This is scalable work and I encourage you take a look at these practices here.   Now is time to expand on the core work taking place by strengthening innovation in our schools. To help with this effort, the Department is administering School Design Innovation Grants. This grant opportunity is open to all HIDOE and charter schools with the capacity to improve student achievement and academic attainment. Information about the grants is posted on the Intranet on the OSIP page.   In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I'd like to share a few thoughts that I'm grateful for: The warm welcome and aloha that has been shown to me by staff and students. The ongoing support from my leadership team and cabinet. Being the Superintendent in a state that is committed to the success of public education and all students. A Board of Education and lawmakers who are supportive of the Department's efforts towards school innovation and educational goals. The many partnerships that allow us to achieve our Strategic Goals aimed towards access to quality education. Recent time with my own family, especially my daughter who will be graduating this school year. Lastly, I want to thank all of you for your continued work and commitment to Hawaii's keiki. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day holiday and again, mahalo nui loa.
