RE:   H.B. No. 2091

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 2091 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to better prepare students for future success by directing the Department of Education to establish a three-year pilot project that implements a comprehensive assessment program for certain students in grades seven, eight, and nine.  This measure also appropriates general funds to support the pilot project.

 

     A concerned individual supported this bill.  The Department of Education opposed this measure.

 

     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 H.B. No. 2091 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Education,
