                   A  BILL  FOR  AN  ACT

MAKING AN EMERGENCY APPROPRIATION FOR KAPOLEI HIGH SCHOOL.



BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 1      SECTION 1.  This Act is recommended by the governor for
 
 2 immediate passage in accordance with section 9 of article VII of
 
 3 the Constitution of the State of Hawaii.
 
 4      SECTION 2.  Findings and purpose.  The department of
 
 5 education desires to construct a new high school in the city of
 
 6 Kapolei to address the present condition of over enrollment and
 
 7 inadequate capacity at Campbell High School.  The enrollment in
 
 8 the 1998-1999 school year is 2,301 students which will continue
 
 9 to increase as housing continues to be built in the Ewa, Kapolei,
 
10 and Makakilo areas.  Enrollment projections are 2,556 students in
 
11 the school year 2000-2001 and 2,712 in school year 2001-2002 at
 
12 Campbell High School which continues to confront many problems
 
13 due to the large and excessive number of students on the campus.
 
14 A new high school would reduce the enrollment at Campbell High
 
15 School to a projected 2,213 students if the Kapolei High School
 
16 opens in the year 2000 and to a projected 2,077 students in 2001.
 
17 If the new high school opens in the year 2001, the projected
 
18 enrollment at Campbell High School would be near 2,375 students
 
19 in 2001.  This emergency Act will provide the authorization to

                                     S.B. NO.           1639
                                                        S.D.1
                                                        

 
 1 begin construction of the new high school by establishing a
 
 2 construction cost element in an existing act.
 
 3      In order to allow the possibility that the new high school
 
 4 can open to grade 9 by September, 2000, it is necessary to begin
 
 5 construction as early as March 1, 1999.  The start date will
 
 6 allow enough time for the construction of the minimum
 
 7 requirements to open the school:  site improvements, highway and
 
 8 street connections, sewer and other infrastructure for the entire
 
 9 site, an administration building, library/media center,
 
10 cafetorium/music building, classroom building, central air plant,
 
11 and landscaping.  A second classroom building must be constructed
 
12 and funded in fiscal biennium 1999-2001 to be open in the year
 
13 2001 in order to accept grade 10 students.
 
14      SECTION 3.  Act 328, Session Laws of Hawaii 1997, Section
