MR. ENEY: Could I ask you to comment on two
|
|
5
|
things, Mr, Sartorius? I have never clearly understood
|
|
6
|
the functioning of the educational budget at the county
|
|
7
|
level. Generally, you have two sources, State aid and
|
|
8
|
the county which provides you with a lump sum amount
|
|
9
|
over which the county commissioners, or if it's a charter
|
|
10
|
government, the county council has full control; but the
|
|
11
|
county board of education, on the other hand, his complete
|
|
12
|
control as to how it is spent.
|
|
13
|
Suppose the county board or the State board
|
|
14
|
together make a mistake in their estimates on which is
|
|
15
|
based the State aid and also your matching funds. You
|
|
16
|
estimate that you are going to have so many pupils and
|
|
17
|
you end up with ten per cent less or so many classrooms,
|
|
18
|
and you have less. What happens to the excess money
|
|
19
|
that is thereby in the budget by reason of these erroneou
|
|
20
|
estimates? Is this money that the Board of Education
|
|
21
|
can spend for other purposes or —
