RE: S.B. No. 2120
S.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2010
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Education and Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred S.B. No. 2120, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE CERTIFICATION OF PRINCIPALS AND VICE-PRINCIPALS,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to require the Department of Education (DOE) to establish alternative routes to certification for principals and vice-principals that meet the criteria set by the United States Department of Education for state applications for Race to the Top fund allocations under the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
This bill also removes DOE's authority to waive the certification and school-level experience requirements for vice-principal candidates on a case-by-case basis.
DOE testified in support of this bill. The Hawaii Government Employees Association, AFSCME Local 152, AFL-CIO offered comments.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Education and Labor & Public Employment that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2120, S.D. 1, and recommend that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Education and Labor & Public Employment,
