Bill > SCR214

This resolution requests collaboration between the Department of Education and the Department of Law Enforcement to enhance safety at public elementary schools and state prekindergarten programs, specifically within the Campbell-Kapolei complex area. The resolution acknowledges recent safety concerns and recognizes that young children may not be able to identify potential dangers from unauthorized individuals on campus. It encourages the two departments to enter into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to place sheriffs at school campuses to improve security. Additionally, the Department of Education is requested to submit a report with findings and recommendations, including potential legislation, to the Legislature no later than twenty days before the Regular Sessions of 2027 and 2028. The resolution emphasizes the importance of creating a safe learning environment for young children and will be formally transmitted to the Superintendent of Education and Director of Law Enforcement for their awareness and action.
