Hawaii SB201 aims to reduce out-of-service-area attendance for sixth graders over several years.

Hawaii SB201 seeks to address school overcrowding by gradually reducing the number of sixth-grade students mandated to attend schools outside their service area. The bill sets specific percentages for mandated out-of-service-area attendance, decreasing from 80% in 2024-2025 to 20% in 2029-2030. The Department of Education must report annually on progress and student numbers.
