SB 3189 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

RELATING TO EARLY LEARNING.

SB 3189 allocates state funds to the State Public Charter School Commission specifically for prekindergarten-only public charter schools. This bill directly affects those schools by providing dedicated funding for their operations. The key mechanism is a state appropriation to support early childhood education programs within this specific school type. It does not change eligibility rules or create new programs, only funding existing preK-only charter schools through the Commission. The bill is currently in committee referral after its initial introduction and first reading.
