BOX 2360 HONOLULU, HAWAl'I 96804 OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT May 16, 2019 TO: The Honorable Kenneth Uemura Chairperson, Finance and Infrastructure Committee FROM: Dr. Christina M. Kishimoto .d'~ Superintendent ~~ SUBJECT: Update on the Department of Education's Biennium Capital Improvement Program ("CIP") Budget Request for Fiscal Years 2019-2021: Legislative Conference Decisions 1. DESCRIPTION The Legislature passed HB1259 SD1 CD1 , which appropriates funds for the Statewide Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget for Fiscal Years ("FY") 2019-2021 . The total appropriation for the upcoming biennium is $769,000,000, a significant increase from the 2018-2019 biennium budget. The Department of Education (DOE) appreciates this vote of confidence from the Hawaii State Legislature (Legislature) and will endeavor to execute the budget efficiently and responsibly. 2. UPDATE This update will reflect the DOE's effort working with the Legislature on identifying and funding the critical projects of the DOE. Starting with the Board of Education (BOE) approved budget, which exhibited the true needs of the DOE, DOE staff frequently met with various Legislators to ensure all parties understood the importance of the. CIP request. These meetings also gave DOE staff the opportunity to update the Legislature on the Future Schools Now initiative. Updates were given regarding the new Job Order Contracting (JOC) procurement process and in-person training was provided to legislators and their staff on the use of the DOE's CIP Project Tracking system. The appropriations support the critical needs identified by the DOE including Title IX compliance, pre-kindergarten classroom conversions, lump sum appropriations which allows some flexibility in executing projects, IT infrastructure, and a significant amount for repair and maintenance projects.
