STAND. COM. REP. NO. 333
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 1858
S.D. 1
Honorable Colleen Hanabusa
President of the Senate
Twenty-Fourth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2007
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committee on Education, to which was referred S.B. No. 1858 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR ATHLETICS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds to establish twenty additional permanent athletic health care trainer positions in the public schools.
This measure also appropriates funds for a part-time athletic director at Anuenue School and appropriates funds for equipment, supplies, and transportation for school athletic programs.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Education, the Department of Health, the Athletic Directors and Coaches Association, the Hawaii Government Employees Association, and one individual.
Your Committee finds as the number of athletes and sports programs has grown significantly over the years, additional athletic health care trainer positions, an athletic director at Anuenue School, and funding for equipment, supplies, and transportation are warranted. This measure will assist the State in meeting the needs of the athletic programs in the public schools.
Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the request for funding for a part-time athletic director at Anuenue School to funding for a full-time athletic director.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1858, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1858, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Education,
