AI Summary
This bill allows Hawaii's public high schools to start the school day at any time between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., starting from the 2020-2021 school year. The purpose is to enable students to obtain adequate sleep, as many high school students are sleep-deprived, which can negatively impact their academic and athletic performance. The bill requires that schools still meet the minimum instructional time requirements under existing law, regardless of the class start time.
