RE:    S.B. No. 748

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Education and Housing, to which was referred S.B. No. 748 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TEACHERS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to provide funding to the school complex areas for academic coaches and programs or initiatives for professional development or increased teacher retention.

 

     Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by one state agency.  Copies of written testimony are available for review on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committee finds that the establishment of complex areas provides the opportunity for the more efficient and cost-effective management of schools and school complexes.  The programs to be funded through this appropriation focus on increasing student learning and professional development opportunities for teachers, through cost efficiencies of complex funding.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education and Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 748 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 and Housing,
