Mr. Williamson discuss the questions for School Year 2021-22
If you have more questions, please email Mr. Williamson at kim.williamson@k12.hi.us For school year 2021-2022, we need to inform you of changes occurring in the Student Transportation Services Branch. Per the Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR), students who qualify for free meal service also qualify for free bus pass transportation. Historically this has meant that students who attend Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) schools like ours, receive a free bus pass because all students are receiving free meals.
In 2019, the HAR was revised clarifying that only students who are certified eligible by the Department of Human Services to participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are also eligible for free bus passes. The Student Transportation Services Branch will be adhering to these guidelines beginning in the 2021-2022 school year. To clarify, a student attending a CEP school must be SNAP certified to be eligible for a free bus pass.

We will be selling up to two dress standard t-shirts, a requirement for next school year, at a discounted price and we will also have order forms to get more shirts for the school year. Hawaii County will have information tables regarding rental assistance and volcano recovery assistance. Finally, KTA superstores pharmacy will be here to give out vaccines to those who are interested, including adults and community members - if the student is younger than 18, a parent must be present for them to get the shot. Students will receive $5 Jamba Juice gift cards for getting their shots and everyone is eligible to enter the statewide drawings for a chance to win Hawaiian Air Miles, free trips and so much more. Students coming in will be entered into door prize drawings for a JBL speaker, bluetooth headphones, Yeti bottles, and Pahoa High School Swag bags. Canʻt make it on Friday?
