                   A  BILL  FOR  AN  ACT

RELATING TO EDUCATION.



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.  Almost all high schools have
 
 5 student activities coordinators who are employed on a full-time
 
 6 basis.  However, the demands on student activities coordinators
 
 7 are so great that part-time positions have been found to be
 
 8 inadequate to effectively handle the sweeping scope and
 
 9 responsibilities of the student activities program.  In addition,
 
10 the job of the student activities coordinator is, in reality, a
 
11 twelve-month job because student activities are not (and should
 
12 not be) limited to the traditional ten-month school calendar.
 
13      The purpose of this Act is to appropriate funds so that each
 
14 public high school has a full-time student activities coordinator
 
15 hired on a twelve-month basis.
 
16      SECTION 2.  There is appropriated out of the general
 
17 revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $      , or so much
 
18 thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2000-2001 for student
 
19 activities coordinators so that each public high school has one

 1 full-time student activities coordinator hired on a twelve-month
 
 2 basis.
 
 3      SECTION 3.  The sum appropriated shall be expended by the
 
 4 department of education for the purposes of this Act.
 
 5      SECTION 4.  This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2000.
