The Hawaiʻi Teacher Standards Board (HTSB) welcomes public testimony on agenda items. Written testimony submitted and received at least 48 hours prior to the meeting will be posted on the Board’s website. Testimony sent to any other email address or testimony submitted after the meeting start time, up to 24 hours after the meeting, will be processed as late testimony and will be posted after the meeting.

Persons interested in submitting written public testimony shall submit testimony by one of the following methods:

·         FAX to 808-586-2606

All testimony is permanently posted publicly on the HTSB’s website and referenced in the Board meeting minutes. Consider this when including personal information (including email addresses, phone numbers, names, and pictures) in your testimony.  If you want your personal information redacted or omitted, submit your testimony as an attachment and include "NO PERSONAL INFORMATION" in the subject line.

Testifiers will be called on and unmuted to give their testimony at the appropriate time in the agenda. Testimony must be related to an item that is on the agenda. Each individual is allotted five minutes, or an amount of time otherwise designated by the Chairperson, to provide testimony to the Board and/or committee. 

 You may use a unique identifier (i.e., an alias) instead of your real name to maintain anonymity, but on the day of the meeting you must log into Zoom with the same identifier you used to sign up for testimony or you will not be unmuted.
