We know that many of you are interested in the latest developments regarding this case, which is a very serious challenge to Kamehameha's policy of giving preference in admissions to applicants of Hawaiian ancestry. In response to this interest, a team from Kamehameha Schools will be visiting each of our islands (twice for Hawai'i) to provide a brief update on the Doe appeal and to respond to questions about the case.
If you are interested in joining us for this update, please mark your calendar for the following dates, times and places:
| Moloka'i | April 18 | 6 to 7:00pm | Kulana Oiwi Halau |
| O'ahu | April 20 | 6 to 7:00pm | Kalama Dining Hall, Kapalama Campus |
| Maui | April 25 | 6 to 7:00pm | Kuakini Middle School Dining Hall, Maui Campus |
| West Hawai'i | April 26 | 6 to 7:00pm | King Kamehameha Hotel |
| East Hawai'i | April 27 | 6 to 7:00pm | Keawe Middle School Dining Hall, Hawai'i Campus |
| Kaua'i | May 5 | 6 to 7:00pm | Radisson Kaua'i Beach, Hibiscus/Orchid Room |
Light refreshments will be served.
The information in this presentation has already been shared with some Kamehameha Schools' faculty, staff and parent groups, and all others are welcome to attend the brief update sessions scheduled above. The update takes about 30 minutes to present, with discussion to follow.
Please pass the word about these meetings. Doe v. Kamehameha Schools is an important case for our school and for our community. Please join us at any one of the sessions listed above if you are interested in hearing the latest information regarding this issue.
I mua Kamehameha!
