HONOLULU -- Talks aimed at ending furlough days for Hawaii public schools broke off on Wednesday morning with no deal and no new meetings scheduled.

The Board of Education, Department of Education, Gov. Linda Lingle's administration and leaders from the Hawaii State Teachers Association met at the State Office Tower on Wednesday at 8 a.m. and ended by 10:30 a.m.

Lingle has proposed turning 15 of those days into instructional days and using $50 million from the rainy day fund to restore 12 other furlough days. That would wipe out the 27 furlough Fridays planned for 2010 and 2011. It would restore 2.8 percent to public school teachers' salaries.

The representatives for the BOE, DOE and the Lingle administration entered the meeting with new ideas on how to retain teacher training days, which had been the main sticking point in negotiations.

"It certainly could be, if the union would accept what is a very fair offer," Lingle said. "I think it's very generous and the community really wants to see them back at work.". Read more from their statement.

One of the major sticking points: the HSTA accuses the governor of wanting to eliminate all teacher planning days. The union said her plan significantly undermines the quality of education. Lingle's camp insisted that is not true.

"You're not taking away any planning days?" KITV reporter Jodi Leong asked.

"Teachers have the right to come in and work on their planning days. They just wouldn't get paid," Lingle said.

"It is very clear $50 million cannot restore 27 furlough days. There must be an agreement to compromise, and so far from this state administration there is no compromise," acting HSTA Executive Director Dwight Takeno said.

The HSTA said it would cost $124 million to get schools fully functioning on the remaining 27 furlough days, not the $50 million the governor is offering. Read more from the HSTA statement.

“After today’s talks broke off, the Board and Superintendent Patricia Hamamoto picked up the ball and held a meeting with HSTA to continue to look at every possibility to reduce the number of furloughs. That remains our top priority," BOE Chairman Garrett Toguchi said. Read more from his statement.

When school got out on Wednesday, parents were furious to learn furloughs will continue and their children continue to miss more classroom time.

"I think it is a travesty. I really do. I am shaking," parent Lisa Munley said.

" I am furious. I can't believe education would take a back seat to the economic crisis," parent Jennifer Chandler said.

Senate President Colleen Hanabusa called the situation unfortunate.

"This means for the Legislature, we are not going to be called back into special session," Hanabusa said.
