                   A  BILL  FOR  AN  ACT

MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR STUDENT ACTIVITIES COORDINATORS.


BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 1      SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that student activities
 
 2 coordinators plan, direct, coordinate, and implement a student
 
 3 activities program as an integral part of the educational
 
 4 experience of students at schools.  Some schools have student
 
 5 activities coordinators who are employed on a full-time basis,
 
 6 while others are employed on only a part-time basis.  However,
 
 7 the demands on student activities coordinators are so great that
 
 8 part-time positions have been found to be inadequate to
 
 9 effectively handle the sweeping scope and responsibilities of the
 
10 student activities program.
 
11      The purpose of this Act is to appropriate funds so that each
 
12 public high school has a full-time student activities
 
13 coordinator.
 
14      SECTION 2.  There is appropriated out of the general
 
15 revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $      or so much
 
16 thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 1999-2000 and the sum
 
17 of $      or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year
 
18 2000-2001 to hire student activities coordinators.

 1      SECTION 3.  The sums appropriated shall be expended by the
 
 2 department of education for the purposes of this Act.
 
 3      SECTION 4.  This Act shall take effect on July 1, 1999.
