Hawaii HB582 proposes constitutional amendments to establish a School Board with both appointed and elected members.
Hawaii HB582 proposes amendments to the Hawaii Constitution to change the composition of the Board of Education. Currently, the board is entirely appointed by the governor. The bill would alter this by having five members appointed by the governor and four members elected by qualified voters. The elected members must be teachers or retired teachers, with at least one elected member from each county. Members would serve no more than twelve years. The bill also includes a transition period for these changes.
