North Shore nonprofit urges community support for a local intermediate and high school

Laurie Mull presented the Kauai North Shore Community Foundation’s four priorities and focused on the group’s effort to create a public intermediate and high school on the North Shore. She said the nonprofit was formed to support education, culture, youth and seniors, health and public spaces, and described early outreach and advocacy steps.

Mull emphasized the practical need for a closer school given travel distances and the number of eligible children and asked community members and KNA directors to support a letter‑writing campaign to raise the issue with state representatives. She described the effort as in its early stages and suggested community backing would help put the concept on policymakers’ agendas.
