The state has released $125,000 to build restroom facilities for eight portable classrooms that were recently installed at Mililani 'Ike Elementary School.

When the number of portable classrooms increases to 10 later this year, they will house up to 300 students. Currently, students in the portable classrooms use restrooms located in an adjacent classroom building.

"As communities grow, my administration is committed to ensuring that our schools expand accordingly," Gov. Linda Lingle said in a press release announcing the release of the money. "These funds will allow for the completion of portable classroom facilities at Mililani 'Ike Elementary so that the school can comfortably accommodate its student population."

Lingle previously released $400,000 for design and construction in 2007. Construction is scheduled to begin in June and be completed in October.
