Today is Tuesday. In less than an hour, our prototype will have to be deployed. That's where the problem begins. The 5-minute warning bell was supposed to be put into action by tomorrow. As of right now, at 11:02 pm on Tuesday, May 3, neither Mrs. Martin nor the other members of the administrative team have updated us on the status of the bell. Kala spoke to Mrs. Martin yesterday, and he said that she would call Island Signal to touch base with them on the implementation of the bell. Because she was not at the last AT meeting, Mrs. Martin is somewhat lost on the topic but reassured Kala that she would do her best to coordinate the bell. I don't feel confident that the bell will be in place by tomorrow. And that's fine. We've done all we could and scheduled everything we had to schedule and talked with people from whom we needed answers. Our proposals went out, the administration heard about what we wanted done, and they approved it (much to our surprise). We've been persistent in getting administration to contact Island Signal, but I understand that there were other more important things that they needed to deal with first. At the end of the day, we've done all we could and while not having the prototype in by the deadline is devastating, we really did try our best.
In the end, we're doing this for the students and teachers. We've stated our purpose in doing this multiple times, and we'll stand by our decision to have this bell. When all is said and done, we believe this bell will benefit the community at Kamehameha.
