RE: S.R. No. 43

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Education and Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations, to which was referred S.R. No. 43 entitled:

"SENATE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE YOUTH OF THE FIRST REPRESENTATIVE DISTRICT AND COMMUNITY AGENCIES IN THE AREA TO DEVELOP COMMUNITY-BASED YOUTH PROGRAMS,"

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request the Department of Education to work with the youth of the First Representative District and community agencies in the area to develop community-based youth programs.

Testimony in favor of the measure was submitted by the Department of Education and four individuals.

Your Committees find that support of community associations in developing youth activities in athletics and fine arts reinforces the values resulting in positive contributions to the community. Currently, the First Representative District is creatively working to develop and implement programs that can help reduce teen crime, drug and alcohol use, and pregnancy. The continued support of the State will allow them to further develop community-based programs that promote leadership skills, school spirit, high self-esteem, and reinforce positive values, including community-based leadership programs.

 

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Education and Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of S.R. No. 43 and recommend its adoption.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Education and Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations,
