REQUESTING THE PROBATE COURT TO INCREASE TRANSPARENCY AND STAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATION IN THE KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOLS TRUSTEE SELECTION PROCESS.

This House Concurrent Resolution (HCR 10) requests the probate court to increase transparency and stakeholder involvement in selecting Kamehameha Schools' Board of Trustees. It specifically asks the court to follow the 2000 court order requiring Trustee Screening Committee members to understand Hawaiian community history and Princess Pauahi Bishop's legacy. The resolution directs the court to appoint committees with greater representation from Native Hawaiian stakeholders - including beneficiaries, alumni, and community members - and to publicly share the qualifications of screening committee members. This aims to align the selection process more closely with the school's founding mission to support Hawaiian education.
