Ho‛okāko‛o Corporation, as the Local School Board, governs and sets policy at the three public conversion charter schools. To enhance meaningful community participation in our schools, the Ho‛okāko‛o board appoints Local Advisory Panels (LAPs) in our local communities. The LAPs advise the governing board and partner with the school to leverage community resources and partnerships to create high quality, culturally relevant public education.  Our schools serve a proportionately higher number of students with diverse learning needs and families from disadvantaged communities. Our community partnerships are invaluable to creating and maintaining safe, nurturing and rigorous Pre-K – 12 education programs.
