The State Board of Education is authorized and is designated the proper state agency to receive all federal funds and any other funds that may be appropriated, granted, or otherwise made available to the state for educational television purposes at all levels of education and shall, after receipt of such funds, use, allot, or distribute them in accordance with the intent, terms, and conditions of such appropriations and grants.

OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Board can accept donations and apply funds directly to support educational television.

- State Board of Education can accept donations and apply those funds to the support of educational television without depositing such funds in the state treasury. Since the funds would not be drawn from the state treasury, the funds would not be subject to the appropriations process. 1979 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 79-4.

If funds designated for solicitation purposes, board can so use.

- If the State Board of Education receives funds by appropriation, grant, or donation which are specifically designated for the purpose of soliciting other funds, then this section contains express authority for the board to use such funds for that purpose. 1979 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 79-4 (see O.C.G.A. § 20-2-13).

Board cannot expend state funds to make solicitations for donations.

- Implied power of the State Board of Education does not extend to the expenditure of state funds to make general solicitations for donations since such an expenditure is not clearly authorized, nor is it reasonably necessary to the exercise of the authority to receive voluntary donations. 1979 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 79-4.
