 36    authorizes these agencies to share administrative resources only to the extent
 37    necessary  to  achieve  readily  obtainable  administrative  efficiencies. The

 40    accounts payable, payroll processing and financial statement preparation. Each
 41    division  administrator  shall retain management decision-making autonomy over

  1    Technical  Education  shall  not be considered or used as adjunct staff by the
  2    Office of the State Board of Education.  Under  no  circumstances  shall  this
  3    arrangement  impair  the individual ability of these agencies to fulfill their
  4    individual missions. This authorization  is  automatically  withdrawn  to  the
  5    extent  it  is found to be inconsistent with laws or regulations pertaining to
  6    the use of federal or dedicated  funds.  The  Legislature  shall  review  this
  7    authorization  each  year  and  reserve  its prerogative to withdraw it at any
  8    time.
                                                                        
  9        SECTION 4.  The Office of the State Board of Education is hereby  directed
 10    to allocate salary savings, based on performance, to provide for employee sal-
 11    ary  needs  before  other  operational budget priorities are considered. Where
 12    applicable, employees whose salaries are below the midpoint of their pay grade
 13    or occupational groups with significant turnover  rates  shall  be  considered
 14    first in the order of salary savings distributions.
