                   A  BILL  FOR  AN  ACT

MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR STUDENT ACTIVITIES COORDINATORS.


BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 1      SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that student activities
 
 2 coordinators plan, direct, coordinate, and implement a student
 
 3 activities program as an integral part of the educational
 
 4 experience of students at schools.  Some schools have student
 
 5 activities coordinators who are employed on a full-time basis,
 
 6 while others are employed on only a part-time basis.  However,
 
 7 the demands on student activities coordinators are so great that
 
 8 part-time positions have been found to be inadequate to
 
 9 effectively handle the sweeping scope and responsibilities of the
 
10 student activities program.  In addition, the job of the student
 
11 activities coordinator is a twelve-month job.
 
12      The purpose of this Act is to appropriate funds so that each
 
13 public high school has a full-time student activities coordinator
 
14 hired on a twelve-month basis.
 
15      SECTION 2.  There is appropriated out of the general
 
16 revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $      or so much
 
17 thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 1999-2000 and the sum
 
18 of $      or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year

 1 2000-2001 for student activities coordinators so that each public
 
 2 high school has one full-time student activities coordinator
 
 3 hired on a twelve-month basis.
 
 4      SECTION 3.  The sums appropriated shall be expended by the
 
 5 department of education for the purposes of this Act.
 
 6      SECTION 4.  This Act shall take effect on July 1, 1999.
