AI Summary
This bill proposes amendments to the Constitution of the State of Hawaii relating to public education. It would establish multiple, locally elected school boards throughout the state, replacing the current single, statewide Board of Education appointed by the governor. The bill would create one statewide board and four county-specific boards, with each county board divided into smaller departmental school districts, each represented by at least one board member. The purpose is to provide more local control and flexibility in addressing the unique educational needs of different communities within the state.
