REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO MAKE AVAILABLE RECREATIONAL FACILITIES TO THE PUBLIC DURING NON-PEAK HOURS AND NON-SCHOOL DAYS.

House Resolution 2 requests the Hawaii Department of Education to make public school recreational facilities (such as pools, gyms, and fields) available to the public during non-peak hours and non-school days. It aims to improve equitable access to recreation, particularly for rural and low-income communities that face barriers to physical activity. The resolution does not change existing administrative rules (which already require online applications 10 days in advance for public use during non-school times) but formally asks the Department to prioritize this access. It is a non-binding request, not a law, intended to encourage expanded use of school facilities.
