Does anyone know some of the socio economic indicators for Puna, such as number of students who participate in the subsidized lunch programs?
A friend of mine told me that one of the schools in his district-Wahiawa, have 85% of the students participating in the program. I saw a Star Advertiser article that pointed out that Pahoa High and Elementary had the second highest absenteeism rate in the state. We know that education is an indicator of future family income. How could an enlightened geothermal operator or utility affect the indicators in a positive way?
