Editorial notes

Hawaii does not currently have a statewide ESA, voucher, tax-credit scholarship, or refundable private-school choice program. Families may still have access to public-school choice, charter schools, interdistrict transfers, homeschool rules, local programs, federal programs, or other education options outside the private-school choice categories tracked here. This page will be updated if a statewide program is enacted.
