Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 2570
S.D. 1
Honorable Colleen Hanabusa
President of the Senate
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2010
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations, to which was referred S.B. No. 2570, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE X, SECTION 2, OF THE HAWAII CONSTITUTION, TO CHANGE THE BOARD OF EDUCATION FROM AN ELECTED BOARD TO AN APPOINTED BOARD,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to propose a constitutional amendment to require voting members of the Board of Education to be appointed by the Governor from pools of qualified candidates presented by the Board of Education Candidate Nomination Commission, with the advice and consent of the Senate, as provided by law.
Your Committee finds that the nomination and appointment process identified in this measure will increase the Board of Education's accountability for all matters relating to public education in Hawaii. Your Committee also finds that the use of a Board of Education Candidate Nomination Commission will produce a number of qualified candidates that will help to provide a clear vision for the Board of Education going forward.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2570, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations,
