                                   RE:  S.C.R. No. 206
                                        S.D. 2




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.C.R. No. 206, S.D. 1, entitled:

     "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING A MANAGEMENT AUDIT
     ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF THE INCREASED WORKLOADS OF SCHOOL
     PRINCIPALS AND OTHER ADMINISTRATORS ON THEIR ABILITY TO BE
     EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERS;"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the
Auditor to conduct a management audit on the impact of increased
workloads of school principals and other administrators and their
ability to be effective instructional leaders.

     Your Committee finds that school principals perform critical
functions as administrators of their individual schools.  In
recent years, however, downsizing and budget cuts have left
principals with the same, if not more work with less
administrative support.

     This concurrent resolution would provide the Legislature
with necessary information and recommendations to study and
assess the nature of this problem to provide assistance to
principals as warranted.


 
a                                                     SCR206 SD2

     Your Committee has amended the bill by correcting the
reporting date of the Auditor to twenty days before the convening
of the Regular Session of 2001.

     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 concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 206,
S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the
form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 206, S.D. 2.

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



                                 ________________________________
                                 CAROL FUKUNAGA, Co-Chair
