First wave of pre-K classes planned to open ahead of schedule
Eleven free preschool classrooms for 3- and 4-year-olds are scheduled to open a year ahead of schedule in August to help low-income families across the islands, Lt. Gov. Sylvia Luke said Monday.
The new timetable to renovate existing elementary school classrooms at an estimated cost of $500,000 each belies the criticism that state government projects move slowly and over budget, Luke told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.
“We’re trying to set an example of how state government can be,” she said. “We have a situation where we are ahead of schedule at half the cost.”
