Thank you for all the input. No matter where one moves there are new things to adjust to.
I’m sure it will work out no matter where he ends up, there are bumps in the road at all schools everywhere, And from our experiences ( wife has volunteered as teachers aid for a few years ) all schools have some mix of wonderful teachers and staff and teachers and staff that are not so great. I don’t think it’s possible anywhere to find a school that doesn’t have its share of issues.
I read about the geographic exceptions on the DOE website and they must be submitted before end of April for the following year from what I understand. Also there are "school choice transfers" under the NCLB act; however that too is in a state of flux here and in Hawaii. I have been able to locate the last 2 years of school reports for Pahoa but none for this year. But as of last year kids can be transferred based on failure to meet AYP for Pahoa inter/High to other schools that are making more progress. But I believe the school they transfer to must be making AYP or on their way to reaching that goal.
Have gotten a hold of someone at Volcano Charter and am waiting to hear back from Connections but will call on Tuesday
I guess will just have to see how it all works out.
Be Now
Aloha
