Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Higher Education, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 20 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the University of Hawaii (UH) to update the Department of Accounting and General Services' 1994 master building plan for the College of Education (College).

UH supported the intent of this measure.

Your Committee finds that the College serves a critical purpose as the training ground for many of the State's public school teachers. Unfortunately, many of the College's facilities are inadequate or obsolete. Accordingly, a new master plan to improve these facilities is needed to provide a safe school environment that is conducive to learning and will aid in recruitment efforts.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Higher Education that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 20 and recommends its adoption.
