STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2093

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 2996

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Education, to which was referred S.B. No. 2996 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR KIHEI HIGH SCHOOL,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to authorize the issuance of general obligation bonds and appropriate the sum of $20,000,000 for the planning, design, and construction of a new high school in Kihei, Maui.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Education, four members of the Maui County Council, Hawaii Laborers-Employers Cooperation and Education Trust, Kihei High School Action Team, Kamali‘i Elementary School Parent Teacher Association, and nine individuals.

 

     Your Committee finds that the Department of Education has been planning to build a high school in south Maui for several years and was previously appropriated over $32,000,000 toward the planned Kihei High School.  Approximately $20,000,000 of the appropriated funds have since lapsed and this measure will help to restore the funding necessary so the remaining planning, design, and construction work on this project may continue without delay. 

 

     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. 2996 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,
