Honorable Wm. J. Benardino
17.94 will prohibit the use of state funds for the support of
Montgomery County school offices after December 31, 1978. The
application of this provision will necessarily alter the
application to Montgomery County of some provisions of Chapter
17 after it becomes effective. See Educ. Code SS 17.09; 17.51
17.54; 17.92.
Already the salary of the County Superintendent and all
expenses of his office are required by section 18.30 of the
Texas Education Code to be paid out of funds realized from the
collection of taxes levied pursuant to the county unit system
of taxation. With respect to the salaries of other county
school officers, we believe the same procedure used for com-
plying with that law should be used after December 31, 1978,
to comply with similar requirements under section 17.94, unless
the "voluntary contract" provisions of section 17.98 are uti-
lized.
SUMMARY
Section 17.95 of the Texas Education Code
is inapplicable to Montgomery County,
which supports county school offices with
revenue generated by ad valorem revenue
generated under Chapter 18 of the Code.
After December 31, 1978, other provisions
of Chapter 17 of the Code will continue
to be applicable to Montgomery County as
modified by section 17.94. The salaries
of county school officers will thereafter
be paid entirely from local funds.
Very truly yours,
J .HN L.HILL
Attorney General of Texas
