RE:    S.B. No. 1214

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2007

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Education, to which was referred S.B. No. 1214 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE ISSUANCE OF SPECIAL PURPOSE REVENUE BONDS FOR LE JARDIN ACADEMY,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to authorize the issuance of special purpose revenue bonds for Le Jardin Academy for the construction, improvement, and equipping of its educational facilities.

 

     Le Jardin Academy and the Hawaii Association of Independent Schools submitted testimony in support of this measure.

 

     Your Committee finds that Le Jardin Academy intends to construct a new administrative building along with new classrooms that will include science laboratories.  These classrooms will be used by both middle and high school students.  A gymnasium and an arts center will also be constructed that will benefit all students in pre-kindergarten through grade twelve.  Your Committee further finds that the issuance of special purpose revenue bonds under this measure is in the public interest and for the public's general welfare.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1214 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Education,
