教育部长 McMahon 到访夏威夷：第49站走进军人子弟学校与夏威夷语沉浸学校
美国教育部11月5日发布，教育部长 Linda McMahon 本周到访夏威夷州，在她的「把教育还给各州」（Returning Education to the States）巡回中完成第49个州的访问，走进军人子弟就读的学校、夏威夷大学的海洋研究机构与一所夏威夷语沉浸式特许学校。
周三，McMahon 先到 Admiral Arthur W. Radford High School 参观课堂，并在该校的学生过渡中心与军人子弟交谈；随后走访 Mokapu Elementary School——这是夏威夷州唯一一所设在海军陆战队基地内的学校，并参加一场「读写与军人教育」圆桌会，讨论军人家庭子女如何应对频繁搬迁与父母部署。
她还走进位于 Kāneʻohe Bay 的自然教育家庭学校 enrichment 合作社 Keiki Roots，参观户外学习空间、给低龄学生读书；当天最后一站是夏威夷大学海洋生物研究所，参观海洋科学研究学习中心与珊瑚韧性实验室。
周四（11月5日），McMahon 与夏威夷州议会议员举行「把教育还给各州」圆桌会，并参观 K-8 年级的夏威夷语沉浸式特许学校 Ka Waihona o Ka Na'auao，为此行收尾。
McMahon 表示：「第49站在夏威夷凸显了当教育围绕一个社区特定的地理与传统来设计时，能成就多么出色的工作。无论是 Mokapu Elementary 对军人家庭的专门支持、夏威夷海洋生物研究所的珊瑚韧性研究，还是 Ka Waihona o Ka Na'auao 夏威夷语沉浸学校对文化的深层保存，这些因地制宜的项目都说明，华盛顿绝不应强加一刀切的模式。各州需要创新的自主权，夏威夷正通过建设尊重其人民与环境的课堂来证明这一点。」
据教育部介绍，这趟巡回将走遍全美50个州，McMahon 直接听取教师、家长、学生与社区领袖讲述本地行之有效的做法，并汇编成最佳实践工具包与各州分享。

Secretary McMahon Visits Hawaii on Returning Education to the States Tour, Her 49th State Stop
U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon visited Hawaii this week on her Returning Education to the States Tour, her 49th state visit, the U.S. Department of Education announced on November 5, touring schools serving military children, a University of Hawaii marine research institute and a Hawaiian language immersion charter school.
On Wednesday, Secretary McMahon began at Admiral Arthur W. Radford High School, exploring its classes before meeting with military students at the Student Transition Center. Next, she toured Mokapu Elementary School – the state's only school on a Marine Corps base – and joined a Literacy & Military Education Roundtable focused on helping military children navigate frequent relocations and deployments.
She also visited Keiki Roots, a nature-based homeschool enrichment co-op along Kāneʻohe Bay, where she explored outdoor learning spaces and read to the program's young students, and concluded Wednesday's tours at the University of Hawaii's Institute of Marine Biology, seeing the Marine Science Research Learning Center and the Coral Resilience Laboratory.
To conclude the trip on Thursday, November 5, Secretary McMahon participated in a Returning Education to the States Roundtable with members of the Hawaii State Legislature and toured Ka Waihona o Ka Na'auao, a K-8 Hawaiian language immersion charter school.
"The 49th state tour stop in Hawaii highlighted the incredible work that happens when education is designed around a community's specific geography and heritage. Whether it's the specialized military support at Mokapu Elementary, the coral resilience research at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, or the deep cultural preservation at Ka Waihona o Ka Na'auao Hawaiian language immersion school, these uniquely tailored programs reinforce why Washington should never impose a one-size-fits-all model," said Secretary McMahon. "States require the autonomy to innovate, and Hawaii is demonstrating that by building classrooms that honor its people and environment."
On the tour, Secretary McMahon is traveling to all 50 states to hear directly from teachers, parents, students, and community leaders about what is working in their communities and to compile a toolkit of best practices to share with states across the nation, the Department said.
