STAND. COM. REP. NO. 95
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 1283
Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui
President of the Senate
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2011
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Education, to which was referred S.B. No. 1283 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE CERTIFICATION OF PRINCIPALS AND VICE-PRINCIPALS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to amend section 302A-605, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to provide alternatives to principal and vice-principal candidate qualifications that conflict with the requirements of the federal Race to the Top grant program.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Education.
Your Committee finds that the current Department of Education requirements for certification of principals and vice-principals are too restrictive and conflict with requirements of the federal Race to the Top grant. This measure will amend the current requirements to allow principal and vice-principal candidates to meet certification requirements through alternative routes to certification that meet the federal Race to the Top grant requirements.
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 S.B. No. 1283 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Education,
|
