Spending for all program services totaled approximately $225 million for the year, which included $78 million for community-based early learning and other educational outreach programs. An additional $31 million was spent on capital and major repair projects supporting new and existing programs.
Kamehameha Schools’ policy is to give preference to applicants of Hawaiian ancestry to the extent permitted by law.
