REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO IDENTIFY SCHOOLS HAVING AGING EQUIPMENT AND REPLACE THE EQUIPMENT WITH NEW AND MODERNIZED EQUIPMENT.

This Senate Resolution (SR 185) requests Hawaii's Department of Education to identify public schools with outdated equipment and replace it with new, modernized equipment. It directly affects all 258 public schools in Hawaii's statewide district, serving 152,270 students. The resolution does not mandate funding or set timelines but asks the Department to assess and upgrade equipment to meet current needs. It is a procedural request addressed to the Department of Education, not a binding law. The resolution specifically cites the need for equipment modernization to support teachers, staff, and students, without detailing specific equipment types.
