                                   RE:  S.B. No. 1639
                                        S.D. 1




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B.
No. 1639 entitled:

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN EMERGENCY APPROPRIATION FOR
     KAPOLEI HIGH SCHOOL,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to make an emergency
appropriation for Kapolei high school.

     Campbell high school presently handles the students who live
in the Kapolei area.  Campbell is over-enrolled and has an
inadequate capacity for all its students.  The Department of
Education seeks to construct and open a new high school in
Kapolei for September 2000 for students in grade 9, adding grade
10 the following year.  Your Committee finds that overcrowding is
a serious problem at Campbell, and to alleviate it an emergency
appropriation is necessary to enable construction to start as
soon as possible this year.  The bill will not require additional
funding but will borrow funds already appropriated for Iao
intermediate school that are not going to be used in this fiscal
year.

     Your Committee has amended the bill by making a technical
nonsubstantive change.
.
