Legislature, Administration, unions, and community have got to give Kishimoto some space and support.  It is not constructive or productive to dwell on her past or question if she can understand "being local."  Got to give her a chance.  Time will tell whether Kishimoto has the leadership to accomplish her vision.  Hawaii needs to rally behind her to make her successful.  Our keiki have too much to lose if our school system falls short of what they deserve.  No mo time for one miss step.
Best wishes Ms. Kishimoto.
