Names come from the city's GIS layer, which prints them without ʻokina or kahakō. Where the official gazetteer carries the same place name, the Ledger prints the gazetteer's spelling; a name the gazetteer does not carry is left as the layer printed it. The layer's own spelling: 0.

Public schools whose grounds fall in this board area, from the State of Hawaiʻi GIS public schools layer, read Sept. 20, 2026: the department's own names, grades, complexes and contact details. Charter schools are marked. Private schools are not listed. Which school serves a particular address is a separate question, answered by the department's attendance areas: look up an address.
Checking the National Weather Service for alerts in effect…
Checking the Department of Health…
Read live when this page opens: the National Weather Service's alerts for the forecast zones covering Kāneʻohe (HIZ009, HIZ035), and the state Department of Health Clean Water Branch's open advisories (brown water, sewage spills, high bacteria) for the island, which the department names by beach or coastline rather than by area. Nothing here is stored or rewritten; each agency's own wording and dates are shown.
Checking the Department of Transportation's closure schedule…
Read live from the state Department of Transportation's lane closure map layer when this page opens: approved closures on state highways in and near Kāneʻohe (within the area's bounding box, so a closure just outside may appear), from now through the next seven days, in the department's words. County streets are not included. Schedules can change without notice and all work is weather permitting, the department says.
138 incidents reported to the Honolulu Police Department in the 90 days to Sept. 19, 2026 (124 in the 90 days before). Most common: theft/larceny (48), assault (24), vandalism (23). Reports by block and by type.
Reports to police as HPD's open data records them, not findings or arrests; no one is named.
ZIP 96734: 94 reports. Most common: Beach/Park (16), Pothole (9), Other (8), Trees – Park & Street (8), Streetlight (7).
ZIP 96744: 119 reports. Most common: Pothole (20), Other (16), Streetlight (16), Stream/Canal Cleaning (7), Beach/Park (6).
Honolulu 311 reports from the city's open data, Aug. 21, 2026 to Sept. 19, 2026, counted by ZIP code; ZIP codes do not follow board boundaries, so each line describes the ZIP. Counts only: no address, no description, no report number. Request types are the city's own. Categories the city labels “Homeless” count calls made to the city, not people: they say how often neighbors reported something, not how many people are unhoused, and the state's point-in-time count is the source for that. Reports about crime are not counted here.
No agenda for this board is on file yet. The Neighborhood Commission Office sends each board's agendas by email; the Ledger will carry them here, in the office's words, as they arrive.
PUBLIC HEARING DATE: Friday, September 28, 2026 at 10:00 am, In-person or Remote Meeting at Fasi Municipal Building, 6th Floor Conference Room, 650 S. King Street, Honolulu, HI (see Notice below).

The city's file records the use as each applicant typed it, so the same use appears under several spellings.
Counted from the city's static permit file (2005 to June 30, 2025), placed by the tax map key each permit carries; 2026 permits are in HNL Build and not in any open file. Counts and totals only: the Ledger does not publish a permit's address, applicant or contractor. How the count is made.

U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2024 5-year estimates by ZIP Code Tabulation Area, read through the Census Reporter API. These are survey estimates; ± is the 90% margin of error. ZIP code areas do not follow board boundaries, so each row describes the ZIP, not the board area. A ZIP is shown when at least a tenth of it lies inside this area.
Oʻahu has one city government, so most decisions that reach Kāneʻohe are made for the whole island. Those records have one home each: City Council and committee agendas and every open land-use file.
