August 23, 2010 – Hilo, Hawaii

Video by David Corrigan

The Hawaii Board of Education met at Waiakea Intermediate School in Hilo on Thursday, and voted 8-0 to keep Kohala Middle School open.

The vote went as expected, based on the recommendations of interim Superintendent Kathryn Matayoshi (a Hilo native) and a board committee.

Several weeks ago, it appeared as if the BOE would ignore the findings of the Kohala Schools Consolidation Task Force, which reported in January that the Kohala schools should not be consolidated. However, a few days later Matayoshi appeared to have a change of heart, and indicated that the cost saving measure would require major capital improvements at the high and elementary schools. The Kohala community held a “Save Kohala Middle School” rally just for good measure.

Kohala Middle dates back to 1926. It currently has 196 students and 15 teachers.
