State Board of Education Chairman Garrett Toguchi said Gov. Linda Lingle's request for teachers and principals to return to classrooms without pay for three Furlough Fridays left in this school year is "reckless" and "ridiculous."
"To ask them to come back to school voluntarily ... gives a false sense of hope to the parents," he said. "To open a school takes a coordinated effort."
Toguchi said other workers needed to ensure the health and safety of people at the schools are not included in the request—which could put people on campus in jeopardy.
