Content Note
On
February 17, 1956, the State Board instituted a uniform set of procedures
known as "Administrative Orders." This system replaced
the mixture of correspondence used until 1956 with a codified policy
handbook, in which the orders were organized into nine subjects,
each assigned an arabic numeral. For some unknown reason, no filings
were ever made in a subject series number 4, "Reports."
In 1967, the administrative orders were reorganized into seven subject
categories and renumbered accordingly.
The archives' holdings consist of three groups. The first six folders
contain correspondence between the commissioner, who proposed the
regulations, and the State Board, which approved them. Of particular
interest is a memorandum (Commissioner John Tramburg to the State
Board, February 6, 1956) initiating the administrative orders system.
The files also contain an index and a guide to revisions/amendments.
The second category is the Administrative Orders dating from 1956
to 1966. The last category consists of the orders issued after the
1967 revision, including Administrative Order 1.01, which put the
revision into effect. In 1971 the Board of Control was renamed the
Board of Institutional Trustees.
