RE:     S.B. No. 339

        S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2019

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Education, to which was referred S.B. No. 339 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO IMPROVEMENTS AT WAIPAHU HIGH SCHOOL,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to appropriate funds for capital improvement projects for Waipahu High School.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Education.

 

     Your Committee finds that many of the public school facilities in the State are in need of repair or renovation.  This measure appropriates funds for capital improvement projects at Waipahu High School for the construction of a new integrated academic classroom building, a campus-wide re-keying project, and phase two of Waipahu High School campus painting.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Increasing the appropriation amount for fiscal year 2019-2020 from $4,500,000 to $5,500,000 for phase one of the new integrated academic classroom building project;

 

     (2)  Decreasing the appropriation amount for fiscal year 2019-2020 from $15,500,000 to $14,500,000 for phase two of the new integrated academic classroom building project; and

 

     (3)  Making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     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 S.B. No. 339, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 339, S.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Ways and Means.

 

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