Bill > HR2

This resolution 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. The resolution highlights that many residents lack easy access to recreational amenities, and this lack of access disproportionately affects rural and low-income communities. It also notes that existing Hawaii Administrative Rules already allow for public use of school facilities under certain conditions, and this resolution aims to expand that access to address inequities in public recreation. A certified copy of this resolution will be sent to the Superintendent of Education.
