Relating to The Department of Education.
BE IT
ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 302A-1128, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§302A-1128 Department powers and duties. The department shall have entire charge and
control and be responsible for the conduct of all affairs pertaining to public
instruction in the public schools the department establishes and operates[,
including operating and maintaining the capital improvement and repair and
maintenance programs for department and school facilities]. The department may establish and maintain
schools for secular instruction at such places and for such terms as in its
discretion it may deem advisable and the funds at its disposal may permit. The schools may include high schools,
kindergarten schools, schools or classes for early childhood education,
boarding schools, Hawaiian language medium education schools, and evening and
day schools. The department may also
maintain classes for technical and other instruction in any school where there
may not be pupils sufficient in number to justify the establishment of separate
