Dear Gov Ige,

Every year we have the thought of moving off island for a better place for our children. This is because there aren’t enough role models and enough value put into education here in Hawaii. Help us make that decision to stay by putting your resources into education to promote STEM focus degrees. Also we struggle here at Kauai CC to recruit qualified math/science instructors. Please help us to be competitive!!!

I still remember your promise for STEM when you were on your campaign. I’m a STEM teacher affected in this bargaining year. Please keep your promoise.

Help grow Hawaii’s future by paying our teachers!
