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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Education, to which was referred H.R. No.
108 entitled: 

     "HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PROPOSED
     COMPENSATION SCHEDULE FOR HIGH SCHOOL COACHES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this resolution, as received by your
Committee, is to request the Department of Education (DOE) to
develop a proposed compensation schedule for high school coaches.

     For purposes of public hearing, your Committee distributed a
proposed H.D. 1 draft of a resolution that replaced the
substantive contents of this measure.  As amended, this draft:

     (1)  Requests the Department of Health (DOH) and the
          Department of Agriculture (DOA) to take measures to
          mitigate:

          (A)  The infestation of flies; and

          (B)  Unpleasant odors;

          at Maili Elementary School associated with the farmland
          surrounding the school;

     (2)  Requests the DOH to work with City and County of
          Honolulu officials to create a drainage system around
          the school to stop flooding problems during heavy
          rainfall; and 

 
                                 STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1517-00
                                 Page 2

 
     (3)  Is titled, "REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND THE
          DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE TO TAKE MEASURES TO MITIGATE
          THE INFESTATION OF FLIES, UNPLEASANT ODORS, INUNDATION
          BY DUST, AND SEVERE DRAINAGE PROBLEMS AT MAILI
          ELEMENTARY SCHOOL."

     Several individuals supported this resolution.  The DOE and
the Board of Agriculture supported the intent of this resolution.

     Upon further consideration, your Committee has amended the
proposed draft of this resolution by:

     (1)  Adding problems with dust to the issues to be dealt
          with by DOH and DOA at Maili Elementary School; and

     (2)  Adding the Superintendent of Education to the list of
          persons to which the resolution is to be transmitted.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your
Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 108, as
amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached
hereto as H.R. No. 108, H.D. 1.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Education,



                                   ______________________________
                                   KEN ITO, Chair
