The Hawaii Board of Education, Amendment 19, also known as Amendment 19, was on the ballot in Hawaii on November 7, 1978, as a convention referred constitutional amendment. It was approved. The amendment proposed three new additions to the constitution: Article X, Sections 2 and 3, and Article XVIII, Section 7. The amendments stated that, beginning with the 1980 election, members of the board of education would be elected in a nonpartisan manner from two at-large school board districts, one district for Oahu and the second district for the neighboring islands. Each school board district would consist of several departmental school districts; it would provide at least one member of the board of education live in each departmental school district; and it would give jurisdiction to the board of education, subject to general laws, over internal organization and management of the public school system.[1]
