Impact

The bill outlines specific allocations for each school project, including a new three-story classroom building at Holomua Elementary, replacement of a failing sewer system at Iroquois Point Elementary, and construction of an elevated parking structure serving both James Campbell High School and Ilima Intermediate School. By appropriating these funds, the bill aims to enhance educational facilities in the district, addressing historical deficiencies and promoting better learning conditions for students.

Summary

House Bill 2559 is a legislative measure seeking to authorize the issuance of general obligation bonds amounting to $82,304,000 for various capital improvement projects benefiting the Fortieth Representative District in Hawaii. The funding is primarily allocated for educational infrastructure enhancements in several schools, including Holomua Elementary, Iroquois Point Elementary, and James Campbell High School. These projects aim to upgrade existing facilities, ensure student safety, and improve educational environments significantly.
