Over the past four years, Senator Jill Tokuda has worked hard to bring over $83.9 million in Capital Improvement Project (CIP) funding and over $10 million in school repair and maintenance funds to our district.
These funds helped ensure that our students and community have a safe and supportive environment in which to learn, contributed greatly toward habitat restoration and the preservation of critical natural resources like Kawainui Marsh, and supported the continuation of vital services in Windward Oahu.
