HONOLULU (KITV4) -- Coming on the heels of the federal government lifting mask requirements on public transportation, the Hawaii Department of Education (DOE) declared its indoor mask mandate will remain in effect until the end of the 2022 school year.
Detailed in a letter sent to parents and guardians by Interim Superintendent, Keith Hiyashi, students and faculty of K-12 DOE schools will remain masked up until May 27, 2022. That is the last day of formal instruction.
A copy of that letter is included at the bottom of this article.
It comes as Hawaii remains one of the final states in the country to maintain its indoor classroom mandate.

Summer school sessions are expected to be mask optional. Outdoor graduations will also remain mask optional, in accordance with the DOE's lifting of the outdoor mask mandate back in March.
