S.D. 2

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2838, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL ALIENATION PROGRAM,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to help decrease the number of students who are at-risk of becoming alienated from school or dropping out of school before meeting high school graduation requirements.

Your Committee finds that prevention and intervention programs directed at at-risk students help to improve their academic performance and personal development.

Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical nonsubstantive changes for purposes of clarity and style. Your Committee has also changed the appropriation to an unspecified amount to ensure further discussion.

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. 2838, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2838, S.D. 2.

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