Summary
The bill moves unspent school impact fees from the Kalihi‑Ala Moana impact district into a special school‑facilities fund. The money will be used to acquire or renovate buildings in the 96813 zip code to create additional pre‑kindergarten classrooms and a public charter school. It targets students living in that district and aims to address a shortage of early‑learning and charter school space in downtown Honolulu.
