Ms. Orvis <br /> created a class project whereby her students were divided into three research groups. The three <br /> working groups were instructed to identify an issue that affects their community, determine what <br /> current law or regulation applies, and research and develop a proposal for possible solution to <br /> address the identified issue either through proposed legislation or community education. <br /> <br /> I believe it is very important that youth involvement in government and understanding <br /> governmental processes is an invaluable educational tool for our young adults and provides an <br /> opportunity for representatives in government to envision and learn what issues are important to <br /> the youth of our community as society moves into the future. <br /> <br /> Therefore, I respectfully request that thirty (30) minutes of time be allocated on the appropriate <br /> Council Committee for a presentation by students of the International Christian School at the <br /> February 18, 2009 Council Committee meeting scheduled to be held in West Hawaii.
