Adds a nonvoting teacher representative to the Hawaii Board of Education.

The bill amends Hawaii's Board of Education by adding a nonvoting teacher representative, selected by the exclusive representative of a bargaining unit. This representative, in good standing, will serve a two-year term with the possibility of one reappointment. The teacher representative will participate in board meetings but will be excluded from executive sessions involving collective bargaining or personnel matters. The legislature believes this addition will provide the board with direct access to pedagogical expertise and insights into policy impacts on students and educators.
