the seven supporting school districts in a manner determined
to be equitable. The chairman of the governing board shall
also be provided such administrative and oversight
responsibilities for MEC as are set forth in the

that the school district providing such services should be
reimbursed for some or all of its actual expenses incurred
in an amount to be determined by the governing board. |
