Dr. Rizor, a former director of the successful charter, Volcano School of Arts and Sciences, has extensive experience in teaching, administration, curriculum development, fostering partnerships, and professional development. He earned his Ph.D. in curriculum and instruction from the University of Wyoming.

As Director of Operations, Dr. Rizor will develop an innovative, project-based learning curriculum for LCPCS and oversee staff. He is committed to community involvement and collaboration in shaping the school’s culture to reflect Laupahoehoe’s unique culture and relationship with the ‘aina.

The interim school board also retained Sue Deuber, M.Ed., as a hiring consultant.

Deuber has been retained by LCPCS to screen applicants for teaching and staff positions. More than 250 applications have been received.

On July 1, Laupahoehoe’s school becomes an official public charter school, open to all children, grades K to 12, tuition free. Its mission is to emphasize hands-on learning and academic success where every student is known and valued, using community partnerships and resources to instill traditional cultural values.
