Sec. 125. Secretary and treasurer; oath and bond. The Board shall appoint a secretary and a treasurer who need not be members of the Board to hold office during the pleasure of the Board. The Board shall fix their duties and compensation. Before entering upon the duties of their respective offices, they shall take and subscribe the constitutional oath of office and the treasurer shall execute a bond with corporate sureties to be approved by the Board. The bond shall be payable to the district in whatever penal sum may be directed by the Board conditioned upon the faithful performance of the duties to the office and the payment of all money received by him or her according to law and the orders of the Board.
The Board may, at any time, require a new bond from the treasurer in any penal sum that may be determined by the Board. The obligation of the sureties shall not extend to any loss sustained by the insolvency, failure, or closing of any savings and loan association or national or State bank wherein the treasurer has deposited funds if the bank or savings and loan association has been approved by the Board as a depositary for those funds. The oaths of office and the treasurer's bond shall be filed in the principal office of the district.
