Proposing amendments to the Hawaii Constitution to establish local elected school boards.

This bill proposes amendments to the Hawaii Constitution to establish local elected school boards, replacing the current system where a single statewide board governs all public schools. The proposed changes include a statewide board and four countywide boards, all elected by qualified voters. The bill aims to address the drawbacks of the current centralized system, such as lack of flexibility and tailored education approaches. The transition period and ballot question are also outlined in the bill.
