Sec. 3-27. To pay no orders except for teachers' wages unless at the time there are sufficient funds in the hands of the treasurer to pay such order, except as herein provided.
(a)It shall be lawful for the board to submit to the treasurer a certified copy of the board minutes properly signed by the secretary and chairman or by a majority of the Board, showing all bills approved for payment by the Board and clearly showing to whom and for what purpose each payment is to be made by the treasurer and to what budgetary item each payment shall be debited and such certified copy shall serve as full authority to the treasurer to make the payments as thus approved; this shall not preclude the use of a voucher system, or any other system of sound accounting and business procedure, provided that such system reflects the facts and that the same is in accordance with the regulations prescribed by or approved by the State Board.
(b)It shall be lawful for the Board by resolution to establish revolving funds provided such funds are in the custody of an employee who shall be bonded as provided in Section 3-19 for bonding treasurers and who shall be responsible to the Board and the treasurer, subject to regular annual audit by licensed public accountants and other such examinations as the Board shall deem advisable and kept in accordance with regulations prescribed by the State Board. A monthly report and annual summary of all receipts and expenditures of the fund shall be submitted to the Board and the treasurer. All funds advanced by the treasurer to operate the revolving funds shall be carried on the treasurer's books as cash obligations due the district and all receipts of such revolving funds shall be deposited daily in a bank or savings and loan association to be approved by the treasurer, unless there is no bank or savings and loan association in the community, in which event receipts shall be deposited intact not less than once a week in a bank or savings and loan association approved by the treasurer. All reimbursements to any such revolving funds from the district funds shall be completely itemized as to whom paid, for what purpose, and against what budgetary item the expenditure is chargeable.
No bank or savings and loan association shall receive public funds as permitted by this Section, unless it has complied with the requirements established pursuant to Section 6 of "An Act relating to certain investments of public funds by public agencies", approved July 23, 1943, as now or hereafter amended.
(c)The Board shall establish rules and regulations governing conditions under which classes, clubs, and associations may acquire or collect funds in the name of any college and under such regulations as the State Board may prescribe.
