STAR-ADVERTISER / SEPT. 2015

Students, parents and supporters with the group Cool Our Keiki, including Marcella Viernez, 7, foreground, Malia Wing, 8, and her sister, Hana Wing, 9, with cap, held signs as they stood on the sidewalk fronting the Queen Liliuokalani Building, which houses the DOE, to garner support from passing motorists in their effort to cool Hawaii’s classrooms. House and Senate negotiators appear close to agreeing on proposed legislation to pay for Gov. David Ige’s pledge to cool 1,000 public school classrooms by the end of 2016.
