Weather conditions on Maui have led to the closure of several public schools in the region. Due to power outages and unsafe road conditions, students and staff in Hāna, Lahaina, and Kihei will not be attending school today. Amidst the closures are Hāna High & Elementary in East Maui, Kamali'i Elementary, Kīhei Elementary, Lokelani Intermediate, and Kūlanihāko'i High in South Maui.
