A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to EDUCATION.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that:

(2) Four new century charter schools have been established that use Hawaiian as the primary medium of instruction and operation, which in turn creates unique administrative, professional, and technical needs and challenges for these schools;
(3) Three of the four new century charter schools that use the Hawaiian language as their primary medium of instruction have chosen to participate in the laboratory school program of the University of Hawaii at Hilo college of Hawaiian language;
(4) State promotion and use of Hawaiian would be served by closer association of Hawaiian medium charter schools with the college of Hawaiian language through the transfer of funds for administrative, professional, and technical services from the department of education to the University of Hawaii; and
(5) Hawaiian medium charter schools outside the laboratory school program should have the opportunity to receive administrative, professional, and technical services through the college of Hawaiian language if they choose to request these services from the college.
