School seeks to convert to charter status
Advertiser Staff
Kamaile Elementary School — faced with a burgeoning student population from the growing homeless population on the Wai'anae Coast — has filed an application for conversion charter school status under a nonprofit corporation funded by Kamehameha Schools.If the application is approved by the Board of Education, the school would be eligible for additional funding of up to $1,500 per student, which could help reduce class size to a maximum of 20 students and offer more individual help to each child.
There are already 27 charter schools in the state.
