through some other agency of county government going

into the county school boards' offices and that sort

Now, I might say we had good relations. In
|
|
7
|
the nine years that I had anything to do with the
|
|
8
|
budget at all, we never had any disagreement. We never
|
|
9
|
had any -- sure, some of our budgets were adjusted from
|
|
10
|
time to time. Based on our study, we called the budget
|
|
11
|
people in and we said we have a different estimate.

|
Sometimes they have estimated up and sometimes down
|
|
13
|
and it was down sometimes right up until the time of
|
|
14
|
the legislature. We often made, in a supplemental
|
|
15
|
budget, we'd get the State Board to approve a revision
|
|
16
|
of the estimates for State aid and submit them, and
|
|
17
|
there wasn't any problem.

Looking at it from the other angle, as a

county superintendent, we would certainly want to see

the State Department of Education with all its re-

sources and its contacts and its work with the local
