Never Enough
The only solution that administrators ever consider is more money. Education Beat Hawaii caught right on to this.
No sooner than the administration of Gov. Linda Lingle announced a projected budget surplus of more than $600 million, state Superintendent of Education Pat Hamamoto publicly demanded claim on $359 million of that surplus for capital improvement funds and $84.3 million for operating funds.
It isn’t as if the DOE is going to spend this money wisely. As a local daily newspaper reports here, the problem is bigger than just money, it is policy.
