STAND. COM. REP. 2765

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2004

RE: S.B. No. 2320

S.D. 2

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2320, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO VICE PRINCIPALS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to support the role of principals in the Department of Education (Department).

Specifically, this measure funds ten additional permanent vice principal positions to be assigned by the Department to schools based upon the greatest need.

Your Committee finds the role of principals and scope of their activities has evolved over time, so that they are faced with a larger number of tasks related to facilities, paperwork, and other logistical matters. Many of these matters are delegated to vice principals, educational officers, business managers, and other subordinates, so that principals can focus on being effective leaders of their learning communities.

Your Committee has made technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity and consistency.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2320, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2320, S.D. 2.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
