all the Constitution should say, but I'm not suggesting
|
|
2
|
that you take out the words thorough and efficient. I
|
|
3
|
noted from Dr. Bard's model of the Constitution wording
|
|
4
|
that might perhaps be better.

Now, you asked me to comment about the safe-
|
|
6
|
guards which have to do with keeping the public school
|
|
7
|
funds inviolate. I think Dr. Pullen has given you good
|
|
8
|
examples as to why that should be kept that way, so that
|
|
9
|
the budget could not be amended and amended away from
|
|
10
|
the public school funds which rightfully belong to the
|
|
11
|
schools .
|
|

|
Now, I think this should be said, This sec-
|
|
13
|
tion applies to the mandated sections of the law, section
|
|
14
|
which are mandated by law. This doesn't protect the
|
|
15
|
funds of the State Department of Education. They can
|
|
16
|
be reduced by the legislature. It protects the mandated
|
|
17
|
sections which require, for instance, salaries for
|
|
18
|
teachers and the other things which must be paid to run
|
|
19
|
a school system.
|
|
20
|
I think this is the section which we should
|
|
21
|
not permit to be — I would suggest that we do not change
|
