The Kamehameha Schools Faculty Association is the official representative of the faculty of the Kamehameha Schools Kapālama campus. KSFA began as a kumu effort to unite our voices to affect positive change for KSK teachers with KS administration/management. As such, KSFA is dedicated to upholding the agreed-upon procedures within its Collective Bargaining Agreement.
