                   A  BILL  FOR  AN  ACT

RELATING TO EDUCATION.



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

 1      SECTION 1.  In response to changing societal needs and
 
 2 educational research, many schools, in recent years, have made
 
 3 significant changes to educational traditions such as the school
 
 4 calendar and other instructional practices.  Many educators
 
 5 recognize the value of using out-of-school time to provide
 
 6 supplemental instruction for students.  Out-of-school time
 
 7 instructional programs include summer school programs,
 
 8 intersession programs, after-school instructional programs, and
 
 9 other educational programs which are held outside of regular
 
10 school days or hours.  Currently, fee collection is authorized
 
11 only for summer school and intersession.  The legislature finds
 
12 that changes to the statutes enabling the collection of fees for
 
13 supplementary, discretionary instructional services to students
 
14 during times when school is not in session are necessary.  In
 
15 order to authorize the department of education to assess and
 
16 collect fees for all supplementary instructional services to
 
17 students during out-of-school time, changes to current statutes
 
18 are proposed.
 
19      SECTION 2.  Section 36-27, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is
