STAND. COM. REP. NO. 784

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2005

RE: S.B. No. 1255

S.D. 1

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2005

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 1255, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to allow the Department of Education, with the concurrence of the Board of Education, to adjust the price of the public school lunch.

The bill also repeals the current requirement that school lunch costs shall be only one-third of the cost of preparing the lunch.

Your Committee finds that economic changes affect the price of the school lunch. By giving the Department and Board authority to adjust the price of the school lunch, they can ensure that the price is in accord with average costs of its preparation.

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. 1255, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

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