1-year contract extension for Hawaii schools superintendent

HONOLULU (AP) — The superintendent of Hawaii’s statewide public school district is getting a one-year contract extension.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports the school board voted publicly Thursday to extend Christina Kishimoto’s contract by another year to July 2021. The board had been criticized for having done so behind closed doors last month.
Some board members praised Kishimoto’s performance. Others spoke against the contract extension, saying the timing is wrong.
