Summary

The House resolution asks the governor to revisit his decision not to join the federal Education Freedom Tax Credit program, which would let Hawaii’s students benefit from tax‑credit‑funded scholarships. It argues the program could give low‑ and middle‑income families more school choices without costing the state money. The measure highlights Hawaii’s low student proficiency rates and aims to expand educational options.
