HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES	H.C.R. NO.	92
TWENTY-EIGHTH LEGISLATURE, 2015
STATE OF HAWAII

HOUSE CONCURRENT

RESOLUTION

 

 

Urging the Hawaii State Teachers Association and the Board of Education to implement overtime compensation for teachers in the next collective bargaining agreement.

 

 

     WHEREAS, Department of Education teachers often work more than eight hours a day, performing hundreds of hours of activities per year for their students and classrooms; and

 

     WHEREAS, these activities are a necessary component of classroom teaching and include drafting lesson plans, preparing for class, gathering materials, researching teaching activities, grading student work, and conducting teacher evaluations; and

 

     WHEREAS, the current collective bargaining agreement between the Hawaii State Teachers Association and the Board of Education does not authorize any form of compensation for teachers who work more than eight hours a day or forty hours a week; and

 

     WHEREAS, compensating teachers for overtime hours worked in an amount equal to one and one-half times a teacher's effective hourly wage calculated based upon the teacher's salary, would help to recognize the overtime hours teachers spend on their students and would provide fair compensation for the extra hours teachers must work; now, therefore,

 

BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Twenty-eighth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2015, the Senate concurring, that the Hawaii State Teachers Association and the Board of Education are urged to implement overtime compensation for teachers in the next collective bargaining agreement; and

 

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the Governor, the President of the Hawaii State Teachers Association, the Chairperson of the Board of Education, and the Superintendent of Education.
