The travel notification process applies to anyone who plans to be on a KS campus or site within 10 days of their return from travel. If you are in distance learning at home or are not participating in any face-to-face activities, you do not need to complete the notification, though you should follow all applicable state and county rules, including compliance with any required quarantine periods. See current travel details for Hawaiʻi county.
This travel policy is effective as of Monday, Oct. 26, 2020 until further notice for students and staff who will be participating in on-campus or onsite activities:
INTER-ISLAND
OUT OF STATE
If your keiki is planning to travel out-of-state or travel inter-island, please send an email with the student’s name, grade level, travel dates, and destination of travel to kshawaii@ksbe.edu.
We will notify the COVID-19 Response Team if your keiki’s travel is out of state.
After your keiki’s return from travel, please send a post-travel notification email with additional details along with supporting documentation requested to kshawaii@ksbe.edu.
REQUIRED DOCUMENTS INCLUDE:
Documents may be attached to the email.
PROVIDE ONLY IF APPLICABLE:
If you prefer, you may download and complete a PDF form and send as an attachment, along with the other documentation to kshawaii@ksbe.edu.
Out-of-state travel
If your keiki is traveling out of state we will submit these details and supporting documents to the COVID-19 Response Team (CRT) who will review the documents and ensure you have met all KS requirements prior to your keiki’s return to onsite learning or other activities. The CRT will provide you with clearance approval before your keiki’s return. This process may take up to 48 hours depending on when information is received.
Inter-island travel
If your keiki is traveling inter-island, we will review the details and supporting documents to ensure your keiki has been exempt from any county quarantine requirements and will provide you with clearance approval before your keiki’s return to onsite learning or other activities. This process may take up to 48 hours depending on when information is received.
As noted, KS requires a Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT), also known as a PCR test, after the fifth day following your child’s arrival. Please refer to the following listing of the State of Hawai‘i’s trusted testing providers where you can obtain a COVID-19 test.
