§2157. Issuance, form and requisites of bonds or obligations

Said bonds or obligations shall be issued in such form and detail, and shall bear such date and maturity dates, beginning not later than four years from their date, and be of such denomination, and executed in such manner, as may be provided by the resolution or resolutions of the Louisiana State Board of Education authorizing the issuance of the bonds or obligations. Said bonds or obligations shall bear interest at a rate not exceeding six per centum per annum, and shall be payable at such time or times, and in such amount or amounts as may be determined by the Louisiana State Board of Education, provided that all bonds or obligations authorized to be issued under this Act shall mature on or before thirty years from the date thereof, and provided further, that said Board may retain an option to redeem said bonds prior to maturity on such terms and conditions as it may direct.

Interest on said bonds or obligations shall be payable semiannually, and said bonds or obligations shall be payable at such place or places and in such medium of payment as shall be determined by the board. Said bonds or obligations may be sold at public or private sale, from time to time, in whole or part, and at such price, or prices, as shall be determined by the Louisiana State Board of Education.

Said bonds or obligations may be issued in coupon or registered form, or may be issued in coupon form with such privileges of registration or conversion as may be determined by the board. The board, by resolution, may provide for the issuance of temporary bonds or interim certificates under such terms and conditions as it shall determine.

In case any of the officers whose signatures or countersignatures appear on said bonds or obligations or coupons shall cease to be such officers before the delivery of such bonds or obligations to the purchaser, such signatures or countersignatures shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if they had remained in office until the delivery of the bonds or obligations.
