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

This Senate Resolution (SR 3) requests the Hawaii Department of Education to make public school recreational facilities - including pools, gyms, and fields - available to the public during non-peak hours and non-school days. It aims to improve equitable access for residents, particularly in rural and low-income communities that face barriers to recreational spaces. The resolution builds on existing rules requiring advance notice for facility use but seeks to expand access beyond current requirements. As a non-binding request (not a law), it directs the DOE to consider this change but does not mandate it.
