Defense officials have announced a $96 million grant to replace a 60-year-old public school on Marine Corps Base Hawaii.
The grant will replace the Mokapu Elementary School, which is rated in “poor” condition on the Defense Department’s 2019 “Public Schools on Military Installations Prioritized List.” The deficiencies and capacity issues placed the school at No. 33 on that priority list of public schools operated on bases by local school districts.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL The children of our brothers and sisters in arms deserve to have a modern school fully equipped to prepare them for the future after they graduate. My school district spent over 60 million bucks to renovate and add onto my high school in 2011-2012.

..."Most schools located on military bases in the U.S., like Mokapu Elementary, are run by public school districts.
The Department of Defense Education Activity’s 160 schools around the world have an enrollment of about 66,000 students. But the vast majority of an estimated 600,000 school-age children of active duty members are educated in public schools or other settings such as private schools, charter schools or home schooling.
Department of Defense Education Activity officials also partner with and support U.S. public school districts with a military-connected student population of 5% or more, in a variety of ways."
