Accessibility within Maui Public Schools
This website aims to explore the physical accessibility of facilities for all of the people who attend and work for Maui District Schools. More specifically, two persons, a student and a staff member, have provided personal insights of what life on campus is like for them. Understanding that these individuals represent people who have all types of disabilties within Maui Public Schools and other public schools across the State of Hawaii, makes their stories all the more powerful. One would not expect their experiences to be much different from the life and work experiences of other students and staff members who frequent the schools. As persons with disabilities, however, their perspectives and their experiences as members of the community are important to share.
