New Director of Operations Hired!

The Laupahoehoe Community Public Charter School has recently announced that they have hired their "Director of Operations"!  This is GREAT news!  The Director of Operations is the equivalent of a public school Principal, and hiring one is a crucial step towards getting the charter school on its feet.   I have attached a message from the school about the new director and an opportunity to meet him, as well as some other news.

===================

ALOHA!

UPDATE APRIL 2012

family as its incoming Director of Operations. Dr. David Rizor is entering

to the Community Members who donated the delicious lunches. Despite the
rain, nearly half of the DOE school’s currently enrolled students
attended. Partners shared exciting information about several of the many
new programs and opportunities awaiting charter students this year.

opportunity to participate in his or her choice of sports. All fees for
