RESOLUTION
REQUESTING THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO ESTABLISH A STATEWIDE RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM TO ASSIST THE COMPLEX AREAS IN CREATING ENDOWMENTS TO BENEFIT HAWAII'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
WHEREAS, the individual public schools in Hawaii have never been funded in a manner where all their resource needs are met; and
WHEREAS, a few schools have long-established alumni fundraising groups or support organizations with substantial endowments; and
WHEREAS, most public schools, including those with long histories, storied traditions, and numerous graduating classes, do not have any endowment or fundraising support beyond parent teacher associations or athletic boosters; and
WHEREAS, all public schools should be able to establish substantial endowments with effective support and organizational training; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Twenty-sixth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2012, the House of Representatives concurring, that the Board of Education and Department of Education are requested to establish a statewide resource development program; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the statewide resource development program utilize the expertise of established programs such as those at Hilo High School, Farrington High School, and Kahuku High School, to assist the complex areas with the development of similar programs and organizations with the goal of creating $500,000 in endowments within each complex area in the State; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Hilo High Foundation, Farrington Foundation, and Ko‘olauloa Educational Alliance Corporation are requested to report on the Board of Education and Department of Education's progress in establishing a statewide resource development program to the Chairs of the Senate Committee on Education and the House Committee on Education no later than twenty days prior to the convening of the Regular Sessions of 2013 through 2018; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the Chairperson of the Board of Education, Superintendent of Education, Hilo High Foundation, Farrington Foundation, and Ko‘olauloa Educational Alliance Corporation.
