Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 209, S.D. 3, H.D. 1, entitled:

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds to convert certificated positions from ten-month to twelve-month status, as needed, for multi-track schools.

Your Committee on Conference finds that due to rapidly increasing student populations in certain school districts, schools within those districts have adopted a multi-track schedule to accommodate the numbers of student within existing educational facilities. Your Committee on Conference further finds that this conversion to a multi-track system has necessitated the expansion of support services at schools that use this type of system, and this measure is an attempt to provide adequate services to students at multi-track schools.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 209, S.D. 3, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 209, S.D. 3, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
