Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Education and Military Affairs, to which was referred S.R. No. 55 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request that the Department of Education (DOE) rename the Ha`iku Elementary School cafeteria the Jean Suzuki cafeteria.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the DOE and the Haiku Living Legacy Project.

Your Committee finds that according to the DOE, Ha`iku Elementary School supports the renaming of the cafeteria, and that if this measure were passed, the school would then go through existing DOE procedures through which schools rename buildings on their campuses.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.R. No. 55 and recommends its adoption.
