STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3436

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.C.R. No. 77

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

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. 77, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO ESTABLISH A STATEWIDE RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM TO ASSIST THE COMPLEX AREAS IN CREATING ENDOWMENTS TO BENEFIT HAWAII'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the Board of Education and Department of Education to establish a statewide resource development program to create endowments within each complex area in the State.

 

     Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from one individual.

 

     Your Committee finds that all public schools in the State should have the opportunity to establish endowments that would help to provide funding for needed resources.  Established programs such as those at Hilo High School and Kahuku High School provide strong evidence of how similar support programs may assist other public schools to meet their funding needs.  This measure encourages the Board of Education and Department of Education to work with established programs such as those at Hilo High School, Farrington High School, and Kahuku High School to establish a statewide resource development program to assist in creating endowments within each complex area.

 

     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. 77, S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.

 

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