Rosenlee has long argued schools are underfunded.

“I’ve always been a strong advocate for our keiki, and I want to make sure that we have programs like family leave, that we have great schools,” he said.

Pierick said schools have too many administrative positions and pay too much to executives but overall have enough money to improve.

“Other states outperform us with less money,” Pierick said. “So it’s not a money issue. It’s a staff issue, and it’s a how we’re spending the money issue.”


Rosenlee spends his membership's money without remorse

"As president, there have been lot of times that people sort of accuse me of having sort of like a pet project, whether that's air conditioning or EES or class size. But I do want to share with you, there's always been something that has been my top priority, and that has been teacher pay.

"Teacher pay has always been important and I want to share why. I think sometimes it's easy, as a union president, people say of course you're fighting for teacher pay. But I want to tell you it goes much deeper than that.

"So a couple of years ago, I had the fortune with other state presidents, we were invited to see the education system in Finland. So the state presidents, we flew to Finland to see the schools, and we saw many different kinds of schools. We were going through one school. We walked around, and when we were done, I came out and I was talking to the Colorado state president. She said to me, 'Corey, what do you think?' and I said to her, 'Well, what do you think?' and she said the exact same thing I was thinking. It's just a school.
"Thank goodness for Google. Right next to Finland is Sweden, the exact same social programs, and I wanted to see, how did Sweden do? This is what really surprised me. Sweden and student outcomes was close to what the United States was, and Finland was still at the top. So what was the big difference between Sweden and Finland? Google had the answer for me.

After spending all that money on travel all the answers he needed was in Google. Gee, I wonder why teachers are paid so low in Hawaii :wacko:

I went to the town hall meeting for my district a few months ago. I  saw Pieirick there but I didn't see Rosenlee. He may have been there, but if he was, I didn't recognize him.

Pierick is 2a friendly. IDK about the other guy.

Pierick has voted no consistently against anti 2a bills like sensitive places and the entire redo of the HRS 134. He also was on the PBS CCW special.
