STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1061

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.C.R. No. 96

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committees on Education and Higher Education, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 96 entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION COMMENDING THE JUMP START TASK FORCE ON THE CREATION OF THE JUMP START PROGRAM, ENCOURAGING EXPANSION OF THE PROGRAM TO SCHOOLS ON THE ISLANDS OF MAUI AND HAWAII, AND REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO CONTINUE THEIR SUPPORT OF THE PROGRAM,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to:

 

     (1)  Commend the Jump Start Task Force on the creation of the Jump Start Program;

 

     (2)  Encourage the expansion of the Jump Start Program to schools on the islands of Maui and Hawaii; and

 

     (3)  Request the Department of Education and the University of Hawaii Community Colleges to continue their support of the Jump Start Program.

 

     Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Education, Complex Area Superintendent of the Nanakuli-Waianae Schools, Honolulu Community College, Kapi‘olani Community College, and Hawai‘i P-20 Partnerships for Education.

 

     Your Committees find that the Jump Start Program is a career and technical education dual credit program for Hawaii high school seniors to help meet the need for career and technical education classes in high school.  The Jump Start Program has been highly successful, and your Committees hope that the program can expand so that other high school seniors whose high schools do not yet provide career and technical education opportunities can benefit from the program.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Education and Higher Education that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 96 and recommend that it be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Education and Higher Education,
