Bill > SR187

This resolution urges the Hawaii Department of Education to establish a pilot program at Ewa Beach Elementary School that would provide ice cream as a dessert reward for students with good attendance. The resolution recognizes that school attendance is crucial for academic success and that positive reinforcement can be an effective strategy for encouraging students to attend school regularly. The proposed pilot program aims to boost student morale and motivation by offering ice cream as an incentive for maintaining good attendance. The Department of Education would be requested to monitor the program's effectiveness and submit a report to the Legislature before the 2027 Regular Session, detailing the program's outcomes and potential recommendations for expansion or modification. The resolution also calls for copies of the resolution to be sent to key education officials, including the Superintendent of Education, the Board of Education Chairperson, and the Principal of Ewa Beach Elementary School.
