HB841 SD2 CD1 (Passed Without HADA Curriculum Posposal)

Incorporated the HADA-advanced public school curriculum reform.

HADA strongly supported incorporating elements of SB451 into the vehicle that was moving through the Session. Our education reform measure was accompanied by a 1000-word essay in the Star-Bulletin, and an op-ed in the Honolulu Advertiser. The HADA-sponsored request, however, for $1 million for development of a language arts/ core content curriculum for K-6, was gutted by the conference committee.
