Dozens of students, alumni and community members spoke in support of Reso. 25‑205, which expresses solidarity with Kamehameha Schools as it defends the legacy of Bernice Pauahi Bishop. Speakers ranged from elementary and middle‑school students to high‑school haumana and alumni who described Kamehameha Schools as "ohana" and credited the institution with providing cultural education, leadership opportunities and lifelong community ties.

Multiple speakers described how the school connects students to Hawaiian language, values and culture, and urged the council to demonstrate public support during a period the school described as a challenge. Testimony repeatedly invoked "Kapu Aloha"—a call for respectful, compassionate conduct—asking the county and community to stand with the school in unity. Several students detailed personal experiences ranging from cultural travel to academic and extracurricular opportunities they said were made possible by the school.

Council members asked few clarifying questions during the public comments; the record shows the council considered taking Reso. 25‑205 up earlier in the meeting so Kamehameha students could testify before returning to school. The transcript segment does not include a recorded council vote on the resolution.
