Provides funding for Hawaii charter schools to address infrastructure needs.

This bill allocates funds for fiscal year 2026-2027 to the state public charter school commission for distribution to charter schools. The funding will be used for infrastructure costs, compliance, expanding or improving instructional space, providing food services, and restroom facilities. The allocation is based on the distribution methodology determined by the charter school facilities funding working group. The bill aims to address the long-standing issue of inadequate funding for charter school facilities, which has led to classes being held outdoors or in unstable temporary structures.
