STAND. COM. REP. NO.1417
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2003
RE: H.B. No. 1175
H.D. 2
S.D. 1
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2003
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 1175, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to base the delivery of administrative and instructional support services to public schools on school complexes rather than departmental school districts.
In addition, this measure:
(1) Allows the Board of Education to set the salary of the deputy superintendent;
(2) Changes the title of "district superintendent" to "administrative superintendent", and makes administrative superintendents responsible for supervising the delivery of administrative and instructional support services to school complexes; and
(3) Caps the salaries of the deputy superintendent, assistant superintendents, and administrative superintendents at eighty per cent of the Superintendent of Education's salary.
Your Committee finds that this measure will increase operational efficiency by enabling the Superintendent of Education to "flatten" (i.e., decentralize) the administrative infrastructure of the Department of Education by converting "deputy district superintendent" positions into "administrative superintendent" positions and placing several school complexes under the direct supervision of an administrative superintendent.
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 H.B. No. 1175, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
