Ang badyet sa Departamento sa Edukasyon sa Estado sa Hawai'i adunay mahinungdanong papel sa pagsuporta sa kalampusan sa estudyante ug pagmintinar sa kalidad sa atong sistema sa publikong eskwelahan. Ang atong budget gibahin sa duha ka nag-unang bahin: ang operating budget ug ang Capital Improvements Program (CIP) budget.
Appropriation → | → Allocation → | → Allotment → | → Expenditure |
Resources that have been or are in the process of being approved by the Legislature and have become law. (Legislative Reference Bureau – The Budget Process) | Appropriation amounts provided (“allocated”) to programs to create expenditures plans. Allocated amount could be less than Appropriation due to restrictions set forth by the Governor or by the Department depending on the fiscal conditions of the time. | Once the Expenditure plans are completed and approved, resources are loaded (“allotted”) into the Financial Management System allowing programs to begin spending their allotted resources. | Actual use of the resources for payroll and by either purchasing or encumbering goods or services. |
Ang $2.18 bilyon nga operating budget para sa piskal nga tuig 2024-25, panguna nga gipondohan sa kita sa buhis sa estado, naglangkob sa adlaw-adlaw nga operasyon sa mga eskwelahan ug opisina, gikan sa sweldo sa magtutudlo hangtod sa mga kapanguhaan sa klasehanan. Samtang, ang badyet sa CIP nagpunting sa pagpauswag, pagmentinar ug pag-upgrade sa mga pasilidad sa eskuylahan, nga gipondohan halos tanan pinaagi sa mga bond sa estado.
Sa tingub, kini nga mga badyet nagsiguro nga ang atong mga eskwelahan nasangkapan sa paghatag usa ka luwas, madanihon ug epektibo nga palibot sa pagkat-on alang sa tanan nga mga estudyante. Pagkat-on og dugang mahitungod sa mga badyet sa Departamento sa ubos.

Operating Budget
Mga Tinubdan sa Pagpundo
The fiscal year 2025-26 operating budget funding comes from four sources:
- Kinatibuk-ang pondo: Represents approximately 83.7% of our funding resources. Comes from the State of Hawaiʻi’s general fund, primarily state tax revenues. This is the top source of funding to the Department.
- Federal nga pondo: The second largest source of funding represents approximately 12% in expenditure ceiling resources. The Department receives grants from federal agencies including the U.S. Departments of Education, Agriculture, Defense and Health and Human Services.
- Espesyal nga mga pondo: Roughly 3.8% of our expenditure ceiling resource is through special funds. Those coming from revenue-generating activities, including school food services, student bus transportation services, summer school program, after-school programs, adult education, driver education, and use of school facilities.
- Mga pundo sa pagsalig: Approximately 0.5% of our expenditure ceiling resource is through trust funds. These may include donations and gifts, foundations and other grants, school athletic program activity collections, and “fair share”.
Direct-to-School Funding
- EDN 100 hapit tanan naapod-apod sa mga eskwelahan gamit ang Gitimbang nga Pormula sa Estudyante (WSF). Ang WSF naghatag sa mga eskwelahan og espesipikong kantidad sa dolyar alang sa matag estudyante, ug dugang nga pondo para sa mga estudyante nga adunay piho nga mga kinaiya, sama sa pagkwalipikado alang sa libre ug pagkunhod sa programa sa paniudto (socio-economically challenged) o pagkahimong English language learners. Naghimo kini og transparent nga modelo sa equity sa pagpondo sa tibuok estado nga basehan. Ang balanse sa EDN 100 gigamit sa pagsuporta sa mga programa sama sa athletics, JROTC ug Alternative Learning Centers.
- EDN 150 nagsuporta espesyal nga edukasyon mga estudyante nga mahimong magkinahanglan o adunay usa ka Indibidwal nga Plano sa Edukasyon.
- EDN 400 nagbayad sa mga bayronon sa eskwelahan lakip na ang imburnal, kuryente, tubig, pag-ayo, serbisyo sa pagkaon ug uban pa.
- EDN 500 nagbayad alang sa mga programa sa Edukasyon sa Mga Hingkod sa mga publikong eskwelahan.
Pagsuporta sa Pagpundo sa Eskwelahan, Distrito, ug Mga Antas sa Estado
Ang nahabilin nga badyet gisabwag sa mga EDN 200 ug 300, nga naghatag suporta sa tanan nga lebel. Naglakip kini sa mga suporta sa pagtudlo, pagsulay sa tibuok estado, suportang pang-administratibo (personnel, teknolohiya ug piskal), mga programa sa komunidad sama sa A+ ug edukasyon sa mga hamtong, pagdumala sa komplikadong lugar, opisina sa sayo sa pagkat-on aron maghatag mga programa sa pre-kindergarten, ingon man ang Board of Education ug Office of the Superintendent.

Non-facility general fund per-pupil funding request for charter school students
The general fund per-pupil amounts, not including charter school facilities (CIP) shall be the same as the general fund per-pupil for HIDOE schools as explained in HRS 302D-28.
- The process involves two phases, first, a budget appropriation request and then later, an allocation “true-up” to adjust for any differences.
- For the budget appropriation request, the Department of Budget and Finance Director of Finance submits to the Legislature a request based on projections for consideration in the final Budget Appropriations Act [HRS 302D-28(a) and (b)].
- The appropriation request is reflected in the Charter School’s per pupil program.
- For the budget appropriation request, the Department of Budget and Finance Director of Finance submits to the Legislature a request based on projections for consideration in the final Budget Appropriations Act [HRS 302D-28(a) and (b)].
- After the Appropriations Act is finalized, the Director of Finance ensures that an allocation “true up” is done using the October 15th student enrollment count. The true up equalizes the per-pupil funding for both entities [HRS 302D-28(c)]
Capital Improvements Program (CIP)
Ang Capital improvement Budget (CIP) budget is set by the state as part of a comprehensive program to manage state facilities, and is handled separately from the operating budget. Facilities staff work with complex area superintendents and principals to prioritize school-level needs.
