Gov. Linda Lingle’s aides are expected to meet with education officials tomorrow morning to discuss the tentative agreement that was reached with the Hawaii State Teachers Association.

State Board of Education Chairman Garrett Toguchi will meet with Linda Smith, the governor’s senior policy adviser, and Marie Laderta, the director of human resources development, at 10 a.m. in the governor's office.
Smith earlier today said she was also arranging for either Superintendent Pat Hamamoto or Deputy Superintendent Kathryn Matayoshi to attend the meeting.
“We want to sit down and discuss where we go from here, and why the governor believes that this current plan is not a sustainable solution,” Smith said.
Toguchi said he wants to seek “the administration’s support of a resolution to reduce furlough days.”
“The board and I remain committed to bringing students back to the classroom for as many days as possible. Failure is not an option when something as important as the education of Hawaii's children is at stake,” he said in a statement.
