8 provided in this Section, upon Upon request the State's
9 attorney of the county where the regional superintendent's
10 office is located shall act as the legal representative of the
11 regional superintendent of schools; however, where matters
12 arise which are within the exclusive jurisdiction of another
13 State's attorney, said State's attorney shall provide legal
14 representation. If, in multicounty educational service

16 intergovernmental agreement, or if, in educational service
17 regions serving only one county, the county board grants
18 approval, then the regional superintendent of schools is
19 authorized to hire private legal counsel to represent him or
20 her in legal matters, and each county located within the region
21 shall pay a per capita share of the legal fees incurred, based
22 on the number of people in the county according to the most
