Senate amends bill to have DOE subsidize tuition waivers for teacher-education students and adds service requirement
Summary
Senators amended House Bill 1345 to a proposed SD1 that would authorize the Department of Education to subsidize tuition and mandatory fees for resident students enrolled in state-approved teacher-education programs; the committee said it intends to add service obligations and deferred the measure for further work.
The Senate Higher Education Committee voted to amend House Bill 1345 HD1 so that the Department of Education (DOE), rather than the University of Hawaii alone, would subsidize tuition and mandatory fees for resident students enrolled in approved teacher-education programs. Committee members also directed that the SD1 be further amended to include a service requirement so recipients would have an obligation to teach in Hawaii for a defined period.
