Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Regular Session of 2005

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Education, to which was referred H.R. No. 201 entitled:

"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO DEVELOP AND ESTABLISH A VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION PROGRAM IN EACH SCHOOL DISTRICT OF THE STATE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this resolution is to promote the value and appreciation of volunteer involvement in the public schools by requesting the Department of Education (DOE) and the Board of Education to conduct activities that recognize volunteers and their contributions, including the development and establishment of a volunteer recognition program to be implemented in each school district across the state.

The Hawaii State Teachers Association testified in support of this resolution. DOE supported the intent of this measure.

Your Committee has amended this resolution by:

(1) Including in the volunteer recognition program, volunteers recognized across the state as well as in each school district; and

 

(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style, including changing its title to read: "REQUESTING THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO DEVELOP AND ESTABLISH A VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION PROGRAM FOR VOLUNTEERS IN EACH SCHOOL DISTRICT AND ACROSS THE STATE."

 

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, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.R. No. 201, H.D. 1.

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