                                 RE: H.B. No. 2763
                                     H.D. 1




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No.
2763, H.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR TEACHER
     EDUCATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to increase the qualified pool
of teachers on Kauai in critical shortage areas--math, science,
special education, career and technical education, and counselor
education--by appropriating funds for teacher education and
graduate level outreach programs on Kauai.

     The Department of Education, the Hawaii State Teachers
Association, and several individuals testified in support of this
measure.  The University of Hawaii Manoa testified in support of
the intent of this measure.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your
Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No.
2763, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Finance,
