Hawaii HB582 proposes constitutional amendments to establish a Board of Education with appointed and elected members.

Hawaii HB582 proposes amendments to the Hawaii Constitution to change the composition of the Board of Education. The board would consist of nine members: five appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the senate, and four elected by qualified voters. The elected members must be teachers or retired teachers representing each county, with a limit of twelve years of service. The proposed ballot question asks if the Board of Education should transition from an appointed board to one with both appointed and elected members.
