Sir:
Your Committee on Education, to which was referred H.R. No. 201 entitled:
"HOUSE RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING FEBRUARY 19 THROUGH FEBRUARY 23, 2024, AS SCHOLASTIC JOURNALISM WEEK IN HAWAII,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to recognize February 19 through February 23, 2024, as Scholastic Journalism Week in Hawaii.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from one individual.
Your Committee finds that the nationally recognized Journalism Education Association is celebrating one hundred years of supporting student journalists and advisers in Hawaii and nationwide since its founding in 1924. Your Committee further finds that the Journalism Education Association supports free and responsible scholastic journalism by providing resources and educational opportunities, promoting professionalism, encouraging and rewarding student excellence and teacher achievement, and fostering an atmosphere that encompasses diversity and builds unity. Your Committee recognizes that February 19 through February 23, 2024, has been designated as Scholastic Journalism Week throughout the country to celebrate the Journalism Education Association as well as its advisers, student journalists, and publication programs, and believes that Scholastic Journalism Week is deserving of recognition in Hawaii.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 201 and recommends its adoption.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Education,
