DR. JENKINS: I think I will, unless he wants
|
|
2
|
to disregard the statements of Mr. Perkins and Dr. Sen-

MR. BOND: If the State Board of Education is
|
|
5
|
given complete control over setting cost of the school
|
|
6
|
system, couldn't the tax rate, would it go out of sight
|
|
7
|
if the Board would go out of sight? What check would there
|
|
8
|
be?

MR. RAVER: The statutory provisions must be
|
|
10
|
adopted by the Legislature. The only thing, the only case
|
|
11
|
in argument here is where estimates are involved. That
|
|
12
|
is to say, certain things like $340 per pupil, that is
|
|
13
|
fixed by law, the 45 professionals per 1000 is figured,
|
|
14
|
but you are bound to get into estimates, how many children
|
|
15
|
will be in school next fiscal year, how many teachers will
|
|
16
|
you employ next fiscal year. Therefore, are there two
|
|
17
|
estimates .
|
|

|
MR. BOND: You say you trust the Legislature to
|
|
19
|
give you the right number of dollars and right number of
|
|
20
|
pupils to professional ratio, but you are not willing to
|
|
21
|
trust the governor as Chief Executive officer to handle
