Your Committee on Education, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 8 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this resolution is to request the establishment of a task force on graduated parenting.

Your Committee heard testimony in support of the resolution from the Department of Education.

Your Committee finds parental support to be one of the most important factors for student success. Your Committee further finds that this task force could be compatible with a variety of programs and workshops already being offered by the Department of Education to assist parents in providing such support.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 8 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.
