                                   RE:  S.C.R. No. 112
                                        




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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Education and Technology, to which was
referred S.C.R. No. 112 entitled: 

     "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF
     EDUCATION AND THE ATHLETIC DIRECTORS AND COACHES ASSOCIATION
     TO DEVELOP A PROPOSED COMPENSATION SCHEDULE FOR HIGH SCHOOL
     COACHES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to develop a proposed
compensation schedule for high school coaches.

     The Department of Education submitted testimony concurring
with this measure.

     Your Committee finds that while high school sports coaches
provide students guidance that cannot be provided in the
classroom, they do not receive adequate compensation for their
efforts.  Consequently, coaches may leave to seek other gainful
employment.  Developing a proposed compensation schedule for high
school coaches is a positive step towards addressing the existing
compensation problem.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Education and Technology that is attached to this
report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of
S.C.R. No. 112 and recommends that it be referred to the
Committee on Ways and Means.
