HAR §8-38-3. Conditions under which a study is required

The superintendent shall initiate a study to determine whether a school should be consolidated if: (1) One third or more of the square footage in the existing facilities requires replacement or improvements to meet prescribed standards; (2) One third or more of the available classrooms are in excess of the teaching station and educational program needs of the school; or (3) Enrollment decline and staff reductions have or will reduce the capability of the school to provide the range of educational opportunities offered at adjoining schools with larger enrollments; provided, preliminary data indicate that adjoining schools can accommodate any relocated students without substantial capital improvement expenditures for additional facilities.
