Hundreds of charter school students learned they were no longer enrolled on the first day of school

Yvonne Lau, Interim Executive Director with the Charter School Commission, said Ka Waihona school officials “Called us late last week, asking questions: ‘Hey, we’ve got almost 900 kids (enrolled).’ I was like, ‘What? Wait, wait!’”

Lau says Ka Waihona’s contract with the commission allows for 650 students, plus 100 slots for the online blending program.
