Ka Hoomaopopo Lahui & Lahui

The U.S. Department of Education requires that all states report the race and ethnicity of students enrolling in public school. The state of Hawaiʻi does not report individual information, but reports total counts of students by different sub-group categories of race and ethnicity. Although you have the right as a parent to decline to provide this information to the school, Federal rules require that every student be assigned an ethnicity and/or race category. The schools will designate a category in the event a parent declines to provide that information.
