Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 2416 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to help develop comprehensive solutions that address the underlying causes of school absenteeism by requiring the Department of Education to establish a school attendance working group.  This measure also appropriates funds to the Department of Education for the purposes of the working group.

 

     The Office of Hawaiian Affairs and Hawaii Farmers Union United supported this measure.  The Department of Education provided comments.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by:

 

     (1)  Including the chief executive officer of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs as a member of the working group; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstative amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

     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 H.B. No. 2416, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2416, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

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