Diana Oshiro, principal of Myron B.

IT WILL TAKE LIGISLATION TO BEEF UP THE LACK OF A NEPOTISM LAW IN HAWAII
Oshiro told the panel that supervisors at Thompson Academy will not take part in performance evaluations of family members. Instead a consulting group with expertise in online instruction will join other staff members in assessing teachers who are related to the principal. Because three of the school's four administrators are related, the consultant will also complete yearly reports on their progress for Thompson's board. That board will also deliver any disciplinary action if needed for employees related to the principal. WHO PAYS FOR THE CONSULTING GROUP? EMPLOYEES ASSESSING EMPLOYEES WHO ARE RELATED TO THE BOSS?
As reported last month, Oshiro's sister, Kurumi Kaapana-Aki, is a vice principal overseeing Thompson's elementary school and works full time as a flight attendant for Hawaiian Airlines. YOU CAN'T GET AROUND GOOD QUALIFICATIONS. Kaapana-Aki's son, who has just a high school diploma, is the athletic director, although the school has had no sports teams for two years and he does not teach the online PE course. Another of her sons, who has taught film/video gaming for several years at the school, just earned his associate's degree in May. The third son works as a clerk.
