In alignment with Gov. Josh Green’s directive issued Sunday morning in response to severe weather conditions impacting the state, the Hawaii State Department of Education will close all public schools and department offices statewide on Monday.

The decision was made out of caution due to concerns about potential flooding, road conditions and power outages.

There will be no in-person instruction on Monday, Feb. 9. Students and staff should not report to campuses or HIDOE offices unless specifically directed.

This closure applies only to the current severe weather event and this date.

HIDOE will continue to monitor conditions in coordination with state and emergency management officials and will share updates through official channels as information becomes available.

The U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii also will be closed Monday due to severe weather conditions.
