Tropical Storm Nolo is on its way to the Hawaiian islands, following multiple storms over the last several weeks.

These storms mean challenges for schools across the state. In this week’s installment of Homeroom Hawaiʻi, we hear about the consequences that classrooms are facing as we check in on Kauaʻi students and educators just days after Hurricane Lowell.

A new segment of Homeroom Hawai‘i can be heard every week on HPR’s The Conversation. To catch more and listen to full-length roundup episodes, visit the Homeroom Hawaiʻi podcast page.
