The Hawai‘i State 教育部’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 預算
資金來源

The fiscal year 2024-25 operating budget funding comes from four sources:
- 普通基金: 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.
- 聯邦基金: 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.
- 專款: 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.
- 信託基金: May include donations and gifts, foundations & other grants, school athletic program activity collections, and “fair share”.
直接向學校提供資金
- 100 英鎊 幾乎全部分給使用 加權學生公式 (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.
- 150 英鎊 支援 special education students who may require or have an Individualized 教育 Plan.
- 400 英鎊 支付學校費用,包括下水道費、電費、水費、維修費、餐飲服務費等。
- 500 埃鎊 pays for Adult 教育 programs at public schools.
學校、地區和州級的支持資金
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 和 Office of the Superintendent.

Capital Improvements Program budget
The Capital improvement 預算 (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:
- 容量: 新學校、新教室大樓、土地徵用。
- 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: 交通安全與停車、防洪、安全/脆弱性、危險物質、減熱、火災警報等。
- 遵守: 涉及公共健康和安全、法院命令和同意令以及聯邦授權(如《美國殘疾人法案》和《第九條性別平等法案》)的項目。
- 教學: New facilities or major renovations to meet particular program requirements of Career and Technical 教育, STEM, Arts, Special 教育, and EDSPEC instructional spaces.
- 項目完成: 完成正在進行的 CIP 專案所需的資金。
- 支援設施: Administration, library, food service, PE/Athletics, electrical upgrades, state/district/complex offices.
- 技術基礎設施: 網路基礎設施和設備、程序鈴聲和尋呼系統。
