Abstract: This report summarizes Hawai'i's education funding for the 2025–2027 biennium, focusing on strategic priorities, budget allocations, and key challenges. It highlights the implementation of the 2023–2029 Strategic Plan, changes to the Weighted Student Formula, legislative efforts to address teacher recruitment and retention, declining public school enrollment, and growth in charter, private, and homeschool sectors. Despite above-average per pupil spending, education remains underfunded as a percentage of the total state budget. The biennial budget allocates $2.5 billion to P–12 education, or 12.3% of the state budget. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
