                                   RE:  S.B. No. 2652
                                        S.D. 1




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B.
No. 2652 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SCHOOL-TO-WORK,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to further refine Hawaii's
School-to-Work law.

     Specifically, this bill amends the powers of the School-to-
Work Executive Council, places the Council within the University
of Hawaii for administrative purposes, and appropriates funds to
carry out the Council's responsibilities relating to school-based
learning, work-based learning, evaluation, and fiscal accounting
and administration.

     Your Committee finds that School-to-Work gives students
opportunities to have hands-on learning experiences in the work
place and helps them see the connection between what they learn
in school and the work place.  This measure will allow the
continued development of School-to-Work activities that will

     Your Committee has amended this bill by changing the amount

discussion on this matter, and by making technical,
nonsubstantive changes.

     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.
2652, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third
Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2652, S.D. 1.

                                 Respectfully submitted on behalf
                                 of the members of the Committee
                                 on Ways and Means,



                                 ________________________________
