The
Comprehensive Student Support Services Section (CSSSS) provides leadership and support to schools in assuring
that a Comprehensive Student Support System (CSSS) is in place at every
school. CSSS is a learner needs-driven delivery mode. It assures timely
and direct delivery of preventative and developmental services as well
as intervention and corrective services to target students and families.
This branch is responsible for addressing the primary, secondary, and
tertiary needs of all students--building a support network which includes
all other appropriate agencies, departments, and service providers. The
branch also addresses the Felix Consent Decree.
The Comprehensive Student Support Services Section resides under the Office of Curriculum, Instruction and Student Support (OCISS), Student Support Branch within the Hawaii Department
of Education.
