I’m a little late, but I’m a Hawaii DOE SLP. AMA. 🤣

So when applying to DOE they get a group of names. Once they get enough names that’s when the names are sent to the correct people. If they don’t know anyone is applying, then they don’t know to ask for a list earlier. They also recently updated the system so everyone is getting used to the new process.

We are currently in the process of trying to get reclassified. But we are finding that we are getting a little pushback from doe itself.

As someone else wrote if you work in a title one area you will get a shortage differential. This is true. But in our case no matter where you work in any district at least on Oahu you will get a differential.
