Another shuffle is taking place on the state Board of Education (BOE), with the resignation of current chair Warren Haruki. Gov. Josh Green has appointed a former legislator, Roy Takumi, as chair, subject to confirmation by the state Senate, as well as three new BOE members to fill one vacant and two term-fulfilled positions on the 11-member board.

Takumi, who chaired the House Committee on Education from 2002 to 2017, will need to dive right in on issues involving the BOE, including student achievement, pre-K classrooms and potential budget cuts related to the Maui fire disaster.
