Some of the top guns for the Hawaii Department of Education took a redeye to D.C. last night to visit U.S. Department of Education officials and talk about Race to the Top.

On the trip:

  • Superintendent Kathryn Matayoshi
  • Deputy Superintendent Ronn Nozoe
  • Assistant Superintendent of Strategic Reform Stephen Schatz
  • Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum, Instruction and Student Support Joyce Bellino
  • Gov. Neil Abercrombie’s education policy advisor and liaison, Tammi Chun

No word yet on how this might affect Hawaii’s imminent visit from the feds (in March) to discuss — you guessed it — Race to the Top.
