Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Education, to which was referred S.B. No. 931, S.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EARLY LEARNING,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to help support early childhood development in Hawaii by requiring the Early Learning Council, with the assistance of the Department of Education (DOE), Department of Health, and Department of Human Services (DHS) to perform a fiscal mapping study to identify sources of funding for the early learning system.

 

     DOE, DHS, and the Hawaii Association of Independent Schools supported this bill.  The Early Learning Council supported this measure with amendments.  The Good Beginnings Alliance provided comments.

 

     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. 931, S.D. 2, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

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