Bill > SCR43

This Concurrent Resolution requests the Department of Education to conduct an electrical assessment of all public and conversion charter schools in Hawaii to determine if their electrical systems have enough capacity to support the installation of air conditioning units and air purifying devices, which are important for improving classroom conditions and air quality, especially in light of issues like extreme heat and the need for better air filtration highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The assessment will identify the specific electrical capacity needed for each classroom, and the Department is required to submit a report of its findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to the Legislature by a specific deadline.
