                                   RE:  S.B. No. 1276
                                        S.D. 1




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B.
No. 1276, S.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OF
     EDUCATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to allow the Board of Education
to set the salary of the Superintendent of Education for five
years; effective July 1, 2004, the superintendent's salary shall
be set by the Legislature.

     Your Committee finds that allowing the Board of Education to
set the Superintendent of Education's salary will increase the
likelihood that the Board will be able to competitively recruit
and retain highly qualified individuals for the Superintendent
position.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your
Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No.
1276, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.


 
a                                                     SB1276 SD1
