Bill > HB1071

This bill modifies the reporting requirements for computer science education in Hawaii by changing the annual deadline for the Department of Education's computer science legislative report. Previously, the report was due by June 30th each year, but the bill shifts the deadline to twenty days before the start of each regular legislative session. The motivation for this change is to allow the Department of Education more time to include quarter four computer science data from schools, which would make the report more comprehensive. The report must continue to include detailed information such as the names and course codes of computer science courses, enrollment data disaggregated by various demographic categories (including gender, race, special education status, and grade level), course content descriptions, and information about computer science instructors. The bill maintains the existing requirement for detailed reporting while providing flexibility in the submission timeline. The change is intended to ensure that the legislature receives a more robust and complete report about computer science education in Hawaii's schools.
