                                        S.D. 1




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Education and Technology, to which was
referred H.B. No. 2095 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to replace the term
"vocational" with the phrase "career and technical" in chapter
305A, Hawaii Revised Statutes, and in related references.

     Testimony in support of the measure was received from the
Department of Education, HSTA, and Hawaii School-to-Work.

     Your Committee substantially amended this measure by
replacing its entire contents with an amendment to section
302A-1101, Hawaii Revised Statutes.  The amendment requires the
Board of Education (BOE) to invite the senior military commander
in Hawaii to appoint a non-voting military representative to the
BOE.  The representative:

     (1)  Shall advise the BOE, as part of the representative's
          official military duties, on state education policies
          and Department of Education actions affecting military
          personnel's family members enrolled in public schools;

     (2)  Shall be guided by applicable state and federal
          statutes, regulations, and policies; and

     (3)  May be removed by a majority vote of the BOE.

 
a                                                     HB2095 SD1

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Education and Technology that is attached to this
report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose
of H.B. No. 2095, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass
Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2095,
S.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

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



                                   ______________________________
                                   DAVID Y. IGE, Chair
