RE: Channel_I_Programming

Dear Mr. Rose:

You have asked whether it is still my position that it is a matter for each county board of education's discretion whether it will contract with the Whittle Corporation for Channel I programming. My answer is that we have not changed our position; it is still for each county board to decide.

Hoping that I have been of service, I am

Sincerely,

/s/

Henry Marockie
State Superintendent of Schools
