A county board of education shall, on or before the day fixed by the budget calendar, submit its proposed budget to the board of finance together with such supporting schedules as the board may require.
A county board shall not finally adopt its budget until after the written approval of the board of finance has been received, and the levy estimate has been approved by the tax commissioner as required by law. If the tax commissioner finds that the levy estimate, based upon the budget, does not conform to the requirements of law, the board shall authorize and require such further revision of the budget as may be necessary for the correction of the levy estimate as required by the tax commissioner.
A county board of education shall submit a preliminary budget upon requirement of the board of finance, which approved budget shall be considered by the tax commissioner when approving levy estimates.
