Hawaii SB574 modifies the public prekindergarten program to prioritize enrollment for underserved or at-risk children and those with a parent or guardian who is a public school teacher. The program will serve three- and four-year-old children in the two years before kindergarten, following the academic year schedule of the Department of Education. The bill does not affect rights, duties, penalties, or proceedings that were already in motion before its effective date.
