"We are excited to have the U.S. Department of Education here in Hawaii to conduct their on-site visit. We have clear and compelling evidence to show the federal review team. Since the U.S. DOE's last visit in June 2011, Hawaii has made significant progress on all of the ongoing projects in our Race to the Top initiatives. We will move forward with our plans to transform Hawaii's public education system. We remain committed to our mission that every child graduates college- and career-ready," said Kathryn Matayoshi, Hawaii Superintendent, in a written statement.
