improving our schools and building our community S KAMAILE ACADEMY Acquires $ 1.2 Million Dollars Representative Gates and myself are happy to announce that Kamaile Academy Public Charter school was appropriated $1,200,000.00 “capitol improvement project” funds to design and contruct a playfield and school improvements. As such, they can build a stronger student citizenry both academically & athletically. This DOE Kamaile School was established in 1989 in the Wai‘anae Ahupua‘a complex. In 2007, the school converted and grew to become the state’s largest charter school. Throughout the students path at this K-12 school, they boast a 98% college matriculation rate. Congratulations.

In these times where we are still trying to get back up to speed for professional growth or even family-time while maintaining social distancing, an immensely valuable community resource is our local librearies.
