THE SENATE	S.C.R. NO.	86
TWENTY-NINTH LEGISLATURE, 2018
STATE OF HAWAII

SENATE CONCURRENT

RESOLUTION

 

 

requesting the board of education to redistrict students who will be living in the koa ridge development to the pearl city-waipahu complex area.

 

 

     WHEREAS, the Koa Ridge development has started construction on three thousand five hundred new housing units in central Oahu; and

 

     WHEREAS, once completed, the development will offer single family, multi-family, senior, and affordable homes; and

 

     WHEREAS, the development master plan includes plans for a new elementary school, but there are no plans for middle or high schools; and

 

     WHEREAS, there is no designated middle or high school for students who will eventually be living at Koa Ridge; and

 

     WHEREAS, Mililani Middle School is currently transitioning to a single-track calendar because of overpopulation of students at the school, a project that the Legislature has already dedicated $23,000,000 to complete; and

 

     WHEREAS, this project would be jeopardized if redistricting of Koa Ridge would send additional students to the Leilehua-Mililani-Waialua complex area because Mililani Middle School does not have the resources for additional capacity; now, therefore,

 

     BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Twenty-ninth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2018, the House of Representatives concurring, that the Board of Education is requested to redistrict students who will be living in the Koa Ridge development to the Pearl City-Waipahu complex area; and

 

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the Chairperson of the Board of Education and Superintendent of Education.
