STAND. COM. REP. 341
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2003
RE: H.B. No. 1174
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2003
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Labor and Public Employment and Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 1174 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SUBSTITUTE TEACHER PER DIEM RATE IN THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to enable public schools to attract highly qualified substitute teachers by allowing the Board of Education to set per diem rates for substitute teachers based on their educational training and qualifications.
The Department of Education supported this bill.
Current law requires all substitute teachers, regardless of qualifications, to be paid one per diem rate, resulting in no recognition of completion of a state-approved teacher education program or attainment of a college degree. This bill will encourage substitute teachers to attain high professional qualification levels.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Labor and Public Employment and Education that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1174 and recommend that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Labor and Public Employment and Education,
____________________________ ROY M. TAKUMI, Chair |
