 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough and long enough. The source checks out and the hook is interesting, though I've added two commas to it to improve reading flow. QPQ present. Spot checks don't reveal any copyvio issues. Good to go. Raymie (t • c) 21:41, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg How does acreage fund a school? Yoninah (talk) 10:55, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Acres of land and real estate investment, rent, and lease. This funds a trust which funds the school, which unless we want to get into the nit and grits of trust funds and economics (which I don't totally understand) I don't think it needs to be explained in detail in this hook or even in the article. Maybe on Kamehameha Schools for another time.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 18:15, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
