STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3504
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.C.R. No. 92
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Twenty-Ninth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2018
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 92 entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO SUBMIT A REPORT ON UNUTILIZED, LAPSED FEDERAL GRANT REVENUE FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to request that the Department of Education submit a report on unutilized, lapsed federal grant revenue for public education.
Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Department of Education; Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs; Kanu o ka Aina Learning Ohana; Na Lei Naauao; Native Hawaiian Education Council; Oahu County Committee on Legislative Priorities of the Democratic Party of Hawaii; the Prince Kuhio Hawaiian Civic Club; and one individual.
Your Committee finds that the report requested under this measure will facilitate a clearer understanding of all federal funds available for public education in Hawaii so that the Legislature can make informed decisions regarding the total funding of public education in the State.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 92 and recommends its adoption.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
