教育部长McMahon访夏威夷 巡回「教育回归各州」走完第49州 走访军人子女学校
美国教育部11月5日发布消息，教育部长 Linda McMahon 本周到访夏威夷州，继续其「教育回归各州」全国巡回，夏威夷是这轮巡回的第49个州。行程包括走访檀香山地区的 Radford 高中和 Mokapu 小学，参加读写教育与军人家庭圆桌会，并走访夏威夷语沉浸式学校 Ka Waihona o Ka Na'auao。
Radford 高中和 Mokapu 小学都有大量军人子女就读。McMahon 在圆桌会上听取了军人家庭对子女转学衔接、课程互认和心理支持的意见。教育部表示，军人子女因父母调动平均要多次转学，联邦层面正推动各州统一转学安置规则，减轻军人家庭负担。
在 Ka Waihona o Ka Na'auao，McMahon 观摩了夏威夷语沉浸式教学。教育部称，此行意在了解各州在本土语言与文化教育上的做法，作为「把教育决策权交回各州」政策的一部分，联邦教育部将减少对地方课程的具体干预。
「教育回归各州」巡回自今年启动以来已走遍49个州，McMahon 沿途与州长、州教育厅负责人、教师和家长会面，推广 RES 经费灵活性豁免。教育部此前已批准包括俄克拉荷马、内布拉斯加在内的十个州的豁免申请。（来源：美国教育部）
Secretary McMahon Visits Hawaii as Returning Education to the States Tour Reaches 49th State, With Stops at Military-Connected Schools
The U.S. Department of Education announced on November 5 that Secretary Linda McMahon visited Hawaii this week on her nationwide Returning Education to the States Tour, with Hawaii becoming the 49th state on the tour. Her stops included Radford High School and Mokapu Elementary School in the Honolulu area, a literacy and military-family roundtable, and the Hawaiian-language immersion school Ka Waihona o Ka Na'auao.
Both Radford High School and Mokapu Elementary serve large numbers of military-connected students. At the roundtable, McMahon heard from military families about school transfers, course credit recognition and student support. The department said military children change schools multiple times on average because of parental reassignments, and federal officials are pressing states to align transfer-placement rules to ease the burden.
At Ka Waihona o Ka Na'auao, McMahon observed Hawaiian-language immersion teaching. The department said the visit was meant to learn from states' approaches to native language and culture education, and that, as part of returning education decisions to the states, the federal department will reduce its intervention in local curricula.
Since launching this year, the Returning Education to the States Tour has reached 49 states, with McMahon meeting governors, state education chiefs, teachers and parents to promote the RES funding-flexibility waivers. The department has so far approved waivers for ten states, including Oklahoma and Nebraska. (Source: U.S. Department of Education)
