State Comptroller Atkins is the school comptroller for Springfield's State. His reputation for educational disbursement is apparently legendary.
History[]
Atkins was sent to deliver the basic assistance grant Springfield Elementary earned after Lisa cheating on a test brought the school's GPA up to the state's minimum requirement. In fact, he was initially impersonated by Otto, who wore a latex mask. Atkins also moderated the elementary school band competition at the state fair.[1] Atkins planned to give Lisa the unusually large good sportsmanship award until he heard her call the first-placed band "cheaters" for using glowsticks in their performance, at which point he said, "Now I'm just going to be sick." In the episode "We're On The Road To D'oh-where" Atkins joins Superintendent Charmers and Principal Skinner over Skype when Bart misbehaves and they discuss how to issue consequences. Atkins might or might not be a Canadian citizen, as when he claimed to be he was actually Otto in disguise. He was also seen rioting after getting trapped in the dome during Trappuccino.[2]
