STATE OF HAWAII

 


 

A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

RELATING TO vice principalS.

 

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

SECTION 1. As the role of principals in the department of education evolves over time, an ever growing amount of tasks related to facilities, paperwork, and other logistical matters are being delegated by them to vice principals, educational officers, business managers, and other subordinates. Unfortunately, not all public schools even have vice principals, rendering the principals overworked and less effective than they could be as leaders of their learning communities.

The purpose of this Act is to provide ten additional permanent vice principal positions to be assigned to department of education schools based upon greatest need as determined by the department according to special education needs and other applicable criteria.

SECTION 2. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $          , or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2004-2005, to provide ten additional permanent vice principal positions to be assigned to department of education schools based upon greatest need as determined by the department according to special education needs and other applicable criteria.

SECTION 3. The sum appropriated shall be expended by the department of education for the purposes of this Act.

SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2004.
