19-233, entitled: “A BILL FOR AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE A SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET IN THE AMOUNT OF $556,074 FROM THE GENERAL FUND OF THE FEDERATED STATES OF MICRONESIA FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2017, BY AMENDING THE TITLE AND SECTIONS 1 AND 9 OF PUBLIC LAW 19-118, AS AMENDED BY PUBLIC LAW 19-125, TO FUND A PARTICULAR PROJECT OUT OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATION GRANT (SEG) FUNDS, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES”., begs leave to report as follows: The intent and purpose of this bill are expressed in its title.
Your Committee held hearings regarding the FY2017 budget for all items under its jurisdiction in May 2016.

Its findings were reported in SCR No.

It recommended at that time funding for projects from the Supplemental Education Grant (SEG) for Data Management ($556,074) and SCRL 19-213 STANDING COMMITTEE REPORT NO.

19-233/EDUCATION SUBJECT: CLARIFICATION REGARDING THE SEG GRANT IN THE AMOUNT OF $556,074 FOR TEACHER AND PRINCIPAL ACADEMIES NOVEMBER 04, 2016 Teacher and Principal Academies ($556,074) in its report of May 30, 2016.

Unfortunately, the second SEG of $556,074 for the Teacher and Principal Academies was not included in the revenue projections for the September Regular Session of Congress in time for that Project to be included in the FY2017 budget (now P.L.

No.

19-118, as amended).


Recent revenue projections from the Department of Finance and Administration have been received that include the Teacher and Principal Academies project and clearly state that there is a second SEG Project for $556,074.

Nothing has changed regarding the budget and activities proposed for the Teacher and Principal Academies project since it was recommended for inclusion in the FY2017 budget by this Committee.
Therefore, your Committee on Education supports the inclusion of the Teacher and Principal Academies (SEG initiative) of $556,074 in a supplemental budget amendment to the FY2017 budget, P.L.

No.

19-118, as amended by Public Law No.

19-125, under Section 9(10)(c), Capital & Human Resources Development, for Education.

Your Committee on Health and Social Affairs is in accord with the intent and purpose of C.B.

No.
No.

19-233 and recommends its passage on First Reading and that it be placed on the Calendar for Second and Final Reading in the form attached hereto as C.B.

No.
