SCR 6 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

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

This resolution requests Hawaii's Department of Education to open public school recreational facilities (such as pools, gyms, and fields) to the public during non-peak hours and non-school days. It builds on existing rules requiring 10-day advance notice for public use, aiming to improve access for residents - particularly in low-income and rural communities - facing barriers to recreation. The resolution does not create new law but formally asks the Department to expand current access opportunities.
