RESTITUTION FOR VANDALISM
Hawaii has established and supports a statewide system of public education. The compulsory nature of school attendance ensures that a student shall have the opportunity for an education. In addition to the education provided during the regular school year, the department offers students the opportunity to receive additional instruction and educational services through a self-supporting summer school program on a voluntary attendance basis.
non-disclosure of student Information to military recruiters
OPT OUT FORM
The Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA) requires school districts to release the names, addresses, and telephone listings (including unlisted numbers) of secondary school students to military recruiters upon their request unless the parent/legal guardian of a student or an eligible student (18 years or older) requests that the student’s contact information not be released without the prior written consent of the eligible student or parent/legal guardian. If this form is completed, signed, and returned to the student’s school, the school and school district shall not release the student’s name, address, and telephone listing to military recruiters without prior written consent of the eligible student or the parent/legal guardian. To initiate the “opt out” request, this form should be completed and signed by EITHER the student’s parent/legal guardian OR the eligible student.
Student Privacy
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
is a federal law that gives parents certain protections with regard to their children’s education records, such as:​
-
report cards
-
transcripts

The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the school to comply with the requirements of FERPA.
