Na Wai Ola Waters of Life Charter School could be placed on probation or lose its charter today for operating on agricultural land without required permits,.....The K-12 school has been teaching children out of two rented houses at Hawaiian Paradise Park ...Waters of Life, with about 180 students, has until Feb. 27 to close one of the sites or face daily fines that start at $100, Yuen said. The department also sent the school a letter warning it to close the other home by Feb. 19...........The Charter School Review Panel will meet today at 4 p.m. at the Board of Education's conference room to consider revoking Waters of Life's charter or giving it one year to resolve the matter

Coming home soon!
I was informed by a PW member of the following:
The meeting got cancelled at 6 last night after 13 parents,
students, and staff bought airplane tickets to testify on behalf of
WOL.
I'm really glad that the parents and students made an effort to get to Oahu to be present at the meeting. It sucks they cancelled it.
However, I'm wondering if anyone came over yesterday (thursday) to attend This Hearing[?]
DISCUSSION/RECOMMENDATION FOR BOARD ACTION ON 2008 REGULAR SESSION LEGISLATION RELATED TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, HAWAII STATE PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM, CHARTER SCHOOL REVIEW PANEL, AND/OR CHARTER SCHOOLS
I hope the board didn't pull a fast one[]
