If you don't like HSTA I suggest you try working in a non-union state where you will do all administrative and counseling duties during your "spare time." Don't include your lunch in that spare time because it will not be duty free.
And yes, Hawaii DOE spends a lot of dough on meetings, training, and the like for everybody above teachers. Just cutting the interisland flights along by the higher ups would pay for those days. I have gone from a lei-studded buffet replete with the DOE Who's Who flown in from Oahu and then back to my roach infested classroom that was in such bad shape it harkened back to seperate but equal days. It's scandelous really.
