Memorandum

Date: March 11, 1998

To: Those interested in Kapolei Middle and High Schools

From: Representative Mark Moses

This information is provided to keep you informed of the history and progress of the Kapolei Middle and High School projects. Included is my testimony before the Honolulu City and County Planning Commission in 1994, before I was elected to the House.

A Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) summary reflecting the results of the 1997 Legislative Session is attached. Next you will find a CIP summary indicating what has been included in the House budget so far for 1998. Remember we are only half way through this session and I will continue to fight for the high school and other projects to make the Second City a reality. The Capital Improvement Projects Bills (HB 3104 and HB 3266) which I submitted for District 42 are attached for your information. At this stage of the Legislative process, funding for the Middle School has been indicated, but that for the Kapolei High School is still being sought. Please see the attached letter to Representative Calvin Say, Chair, House Finance Committee urging the required funding.

Also included is a copy of letters from me to Mr. Herman M. Aizawa, Ph.D., Superintendent of Education requesting the date for opening the High School be moved up to the year 2000, and his response. Finally, letters from Katherine T. Kawaguchi, Kapolei Middle and High School Projects Coordinator are included for your information.

If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
