HI SR145

Request the Hawaii Board of Education to review Policy No. 6701, which provides acreage guidelines for elementary, intermediate, middle, and high schools.

Direct the Board to evaluate the policy in light of the State's efforts to renovate and build twenty-first century schools that incorporate new learning strategies, community interaction, advanced technology, and energy-efficient systems.

Require the Board of Education to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislature.

Identify that Policy No. 6701 may limit the State's ability to develop schools meeting twenty-first century education standards due to its acreage requirements.
