Establishes a pilot program for public-private partnership schools in Hawaii.

The bill requires the Hawaii school facilities authority to establish a pilot program for developing three new public-private partnership schools in different geographic areas. The program aims to address community needs for public school capacity and cost-efficiency. The authority will evaluate proposals based on cost savings, unmet community needs, design quality, delivery speed, land availability, and compliance with state laws. The pilot program will run until June 30, 2028, with an appropriation of $3,000,000 for fiscal year 2026-2027.
