RE:    S.C.R. No. 33

       S.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 33, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND BOARD OF EDUCATION TO INSTITUTE A GREEN HAWAII PROGRAM WITHIN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the Department of Education and the Board of Education to institute a green Hawaii program within the public school system.

 

     Your Committee finds that projects that encourage recycling, organic gardening, and reduced water consumption can help alleviate pressure on school budgets by conserving and reusing resources.  Your Committee also finds that encouraging green projects through a Green Hawaii program will teach students civic awareness, promote a spirit of cooperation in solving common problems, and facilitate mutual undertakings within the community.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by clarifying which specific individuals are to receive a certified copy of the Concurrent Resolution as:

 

     (1)  The Chairperson of the Board of Education;

 

     (2)  The Executive Director of the Charter School Administrative Office; and

 

     (3)  The Chairperson of the Hawaii State Student Council.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 33, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 33, S.D. 2.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
