School Community Council

The purpose of the Holomua Navigators (S.C.C.) shall be to provide a means by which all role groups within the school's community can be heard in order to collaboratively promote quality education for our students in a safe and creative environment where maximum learning occurs. 

The Holomua Navigators are dedicated to upholding the vision of Holomua Elementary by prioritizing the education and well-being of students. They actively engage appropriate stakeholders in decision-making and serve in a policy-making capacity, committed to shared decision-making as outlined in Article IV. Their objectives align with State guidelines and Board of Education policies. The Navigators advise the school on planning, budgeting, implementation, and evaluation of the academic and financial plan, ensuring these plans align with the educational accountability system. They are responsible for studying and developing a multi-year plan to address the educational needs of students and provide opportunities for collaborative input and consultation. Additionally, they undertake actions required by the Department of Education. The principal develops and presents the academic and financial plan, which the School Community Council (SCC) reviews and evaluates. The SCC recommends revisions or approval to the Complex Area Superintendent and continues to assess the plan's implementation and effectiveness, recommending modifications as necessary. The SCC fulfills all duties assigned by the Hawaii Department of Education.
