“again reclaiming my time, I will say to the gentleman that we have made every effort, for example, to put money into special education for disabled children. Now, that is an account that is a Federal mandate. We know that that money has to be spent. The more money that we put into that account, while it obviously helps that situation and that need, it also frees up other money that has had to be spent in that account for other purposes and allows the local school district to decide where those funds can best be used. So, yes. Are we for more flexibility? Absolutely. That is what we believe in.”
