A. The superintendent of public instruction shall:

1. Furnish copies of the attorney general opinions, including opinions of the county attorneys which have been submitted to the attorney general for review as provided in subsection B, relating to school matters to all county attorneys, county school superintendents and to other interested persons who request copies.

2. Require each county school superintendent to furnish copies of all attorney general opinions relating to school matters to all school districts in his county.
