Badyet

The Hawai‘i State Departamento sa Edukasyon’s budget plays a crucial role in supporting student success and maintaining the quality of our public school system. Our budget is divided into two main parts: the operating budget and the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) budget.

The $2.18 billion operating budget for fiscal year 2024-25, primarily funded by state tax revenue, covers the day-to-day operations of schools and offices, from teacher salaries to classroom resources. Meanwhile, the CIP budget focuses on the development, maintenance and upgrading of school facilities, funded almost entirely through state bonds.

Together, these budgets ensure that our schools are equipped to provide a safe, engaging and effective learning environment for all students. Learn more about the Department’s budgets below.

Mga Tinubdan sa Pagpundo

Budget funding sources pie chart

The fiscal year 2024-25 operating budget funding comes from four sources:

  • Kinatibuk-ang pondo: Represents approximately 85% 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 11% 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 4% 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: May include donations and gifts, foundations & 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). The WSF gives schools a specific dollar amount for each student, and additional funds for students with certain characteristics, such as qualifying for the free and reduced lunch program (socio-economically challenged) or being English language learners. This creates a transparent model of funding equity on a statewide basis. The balance of EDN 100 is used to support programs such as athletics, JROTC and Alternative Learning Centers.
  • EDN 150 nagsuporta special education students who may require or have an Individualized Edukasyon Plan.
  • EDN 400 nagbayad sa mga bayronon sa eskwelahan lakip na ang imburnal, kuryente, tubig, pag-ayo, serbisyo sa pagkaon ug uban pa.
  • EDN 500 pays for Adult Edukasyon programs at public schools.

Capital Improvements Program budget

The Capital improvement Badyet (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.

  • Kapasidad: Bag-ong mga Eskwelahan, bag-ong mga bilding sa classroom, pag-angkon sa yuta.
  • Repair & Maintenance (R&M): Major R&M projects that extend the useful life of a facility or provide for greater functional/operational efficiency through a significant improvement or upgrade. These may include, but are not limited to: building envelope and infrastructure preservation, structural repairs, interior renovations, site improvements.

  • Instruksyon: New facilities or major renovations to meet particular program requirements of Career and Technical Edukasyon, STEM, Arts, Special Edukasyon, and EDSPEC instructional spaces.
