1. The county superintendent's expenses incidental to carrying out the audio visual program, if within the superintendent's budget, should be approved by the county auditor.2. The county may furnish a car for the use of the director of the audio visual program.3. Where county funds are used to pay for the services of a person, such a person would be a county employee for most purposes, whether the person was engaged by the superintendent of schools, county treasurer, or county clerk, but a person paid from school district funds, though engaged by a county official, would not, in the normal sense, be considered a county employee.
