The Office of Hawaiian Affairs Board of Trustees authorized the board chair on Feb. 19 to sign a letter of support for the Hawaii Education Alliance Task Force on behalf of OHA. The motion (agenda item 2604) was presented by administration, there was no registered public testimony, and trustees moved quickly to a roll call.
The board recorded seven yes votes and the motion passed. During subsequent discussion, at least one trustee urged building a coordinated advocacy network to mobilize oral and written testimony for legislative matters and to leverage OHA-funded partners for outreach.
The authorization is procedural: it empowers the chair to sign the support letter so OHA can formalize its relationship with the task force and respond promptly to upcoming education activities.
