Bill > SR3

This resolution, passed by the Senate of the Thirty-third Legislature of the State of Hawaii, requests the Department of Education to make public school recreational facilities, such as pools, gyms, and fields, available for public use during times when they are not being used for school activities, specifically during non-peak hours and on non-school days. This initiative aims to address the challenge of limited access to recreational amenities, which disproportionately affects rural and low-income communities in Hawaii, by expanding opportunities for physical activity and promoting greater equity in public recreation. The resolution also notes that existing Hawaii Administrative Rules already allow for public use of school facilities under certain conditions, provided it doesn't interfere with school operations and an application is submitted in advance.
