Bill > SR189

This resolution requests collaboration between the Department of Education and 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 effectively identify potential threats from unauthorized individuals on campus. It encourages the two departments to develop a memorandum of understanding to deploy sheriffs at these school campuses to improve security. Additionally, the resolution requires the Department of Education to submit a comprehensive report with findings and recommendations, including potential legislative proposals, to the Legislature prior to the 2027 and 2028 Regular Sessions. The resolution highlights the Legislature's commitment to creating safe learning environments for young children and concludes by directing certified copies of the resolution to be sent to the Superintendent of Education and Director of Law Enforcement.
