Presupuesto

The Hawai‘i State Departamento de Educación’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.

Operating Presupuesto

Fuentes de financiación

Budget funding sources pie chart

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

  • Fondos generales: 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.
  • Fondos federales: 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.
  • Fondos especiales: 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.
  • Fondos fiduciarios: May include donations and gifts, foundations & other grants, school athletic program activity collections, and “fair share”.

Financiamiento directo a la escuela

  • EDN 100 Se distribuye casi en su totalidad a las escuelas que utilizan el Fórmula ponderada del estudiante (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 apoya special education students who may require or have an Individualized Educación Plan.
  • EDN 400 paga las facturas escolares, incluyendo alcantarillado, electricidad, agua, reparaciones, servicio de comida y otros.
  • EDN 500 pays for Adult Educación programs at public schools.

Financiamiento de apoyo a nivel escolar, distrital y estatal

​The remainder of the budget is spread among EDNs 200 and 300, which provide support at all levels. These include instructional supports, statewide testing, administrative support (personnel, technology and fiscal), community programs such as A+ and adult education, complex area administration, the early learning office to provide pre-kindergarten programs, as well as the Board of Education y Office of the Superintendent.

Capital Improvements Program budget

The Capital improvement Presupuesto (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.

Like the EDNs for the operating budget, CIP appropriations are added into planning categories that direct how the funds can be used. Funds appropriated are expended in categories such as:

  • Capacidad: Nuevas escuelas, nuevos edificios de aulas, adquisición de terrenos.
  • 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.
  • Health & Safety: Seguridad vial y estacionamiento, mitigación de inundaciones, seguridad/vulnerabilidad, materiales peligrosos, reducción del calor, alarmas contra incendios, etc.
  • Cumplimiento: Proyectos para abordar la salud y seguridad públicas, órdenes judiciales y decretos de consentimiento, y mandatos federales como la Ley de Estadounidenses con Discapacidades y el Título IX de Equidad de Género.
  • Instructivo: New facilities or major renovations to meet particular program requirements of Career and Technical Educación, STEM, Arts, Special Educación, and EDSPEC instructional spaces.
  • Finalización del proyecto: Financiamiento necesario para completar los proyectos CIP en curso.
  • Instalaciones de apoyo: Administration, library, food service, PE/Athletics, electrical upgrades, state/district/complex offices.
