Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Education, to which was referred S.B. No. 2116, S.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CHARTER SCHOOLS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to facilitate the implementation of the recommendations of the Charter School Governance, Accountability, and Authority Task Force by:

 

     (1)  Requiring the Board of Education to contract for an Implementation and Transition Coordinator to assist with the implementation of S.B. No. 2115, Regular Session 2012, which reorganizes the charter school governance structure; and

 

     (2)  Making an unspecified appropriation to support the Coordinator position.

 

     The Governor, Office of Hawaiian Affairs, and Hawaii Business Roundtable Incorporated supported this bill.  The Hawaii Public Charter Schools Network supported the intent of this measure.  The State Procurement Office, Hawaii Technology Academy, Ho‘okāko‘o Corporation, and Kanu O Ka ‘Āina provided comments.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2116, S.D. 2, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Education,
