Rules of the Department of Education, Chapter 13, require that all persons of school age are required to attend the school (home school) in the geographic area of their residence. Hawaii state law determines a minor’s residence by the residence of the parents or legal guardians. Public school students may apply for Geographic Exceptions (GE) to attend schools other than their home school. GE application forms are available at any public school or district office, and must be submitted to the home school. Students currently attending a school on a valid GE may continue until their terminal year at that school without reapplying each year. Grade 5 is terminal year at Mililani Uka Elementary School. GE applications for the following school year are accepted through March 1. Applications may be placed on a wait list.
