Good day,
My name is Julie Elkjer and I am one of the owners of Sustainable Island Products based in Hilo,
Hawaii a family owned and operated business. In reviewing both Bill 140 and Bill 204 I feel that I
can speak both as a business owner and educator with a Master of Art specializing in.Curriculum and
Development for Secondary Education.
The two bills need to be simultaneously passed to have the impact for the County of Hawaii that is
desired. As in all cases, you can not have expectations of people following through with Bill 204
focusing on education unless you have an outcome based system - Bill 140.
The County of Hawaii has an excellent opportunity to be a Center of Excellence with passing Bill 140
and Bill 204: setting an example for the State of Hawaii, the rest of the United States and other
countries.
I support both Bill 140 and Bill 204. As stated - they need to be passed together.
