galera should withdraw.  keith amemiya would be a good choice. proven leader with a vision and made things happen!! galera hasn't done anything large scale besides being a principal.  will be a shame to have him be selected.  This setup is sad for the children of hawaii.  business as usual!!  what did he do as a principal that makes anyone think he can lead the entire DOE.  we need committed people who can get things done and cut the  FAT in the DOE.  Galera will just keep adding to the FAT.
