                                     H.D. 1




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committees on Education and Labor and Public
Employment, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 139 entitled: 

     "HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF
     EDUCATION AND THE ATHLETIC DIRECTORS AND COACHES ASSOCIATION
     TO DEVELOP A PROPOSED COMPENSATION SCHEDULE FOR HIGH SCHOOL
     COACHES,"

beg leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to require the
Department of Education (DOE) and the Athletic Directors and
Coaches Association (ADCA) to develop a proposed compensation
schedule for high school coaches.

     The DOE and ADCA testified in support of this measure.  The
Hawaii State Teachers Association (HSTA) testified that it had
strong concerns about the measure, stating that the issue of
athletic coaches' salary schedules has traditionally been an
issue considered by the collective bargaining team.

     Your Committees have amended this concurrent resolution by:

     (1)  Requesting HSTA to work with the DOE and ADCA to
          develop a proposed compensation schedule for high
          school coaches;

     (2)  Directing that a certified copy of this concurrent
          resolution also be transmitted to HSTA;

                                 Page 2

 

     (3)  Amending the title to read:  "REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT
          OF EDUCATION, THE ATHLETIC DIRECTORS AND COACHES
          ASSOCIATION, AND THE HAWAII STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
          TO DEVELOP A PROPOSED COMPENSATION SCHEDULE FOR HIGH
          SCHOOL COACHES"; and

     (4)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for
          purposes of style and clarity.

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your
Committees on Education and Labor and Public Employment that are
attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent
and purpose of H.C.R. No. 139, as amended herein, and recommend
that it be referred to the Committee on Finance, in the form
attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 139, H.D. 1.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committees on Education and
                                   Labor and Public Employment,
