The school district treasurer of a common or union high school district shall:
(2) Apply for, receive and sue for all money appropriated to or
collected for the school district and disburse the same in accordance with this subsection and s. 66.0607. Disbursements from
the school district treasury shall be made by the school district
treasurer upon the written order of the school district clerk after
proper vouchers have been filed with the school district clerk.
Such disbursements shall be by order check, share draft or other
draft and no order check, share draft or other draft is valid nor
may it be released to the payee unless signed by the school district
clerk and school district treasurer and countersigned by the
school district president. In a school district having 5 or more
school board members, another school board member may countersign such order checks, share draft or other draft in lieu of the
school district president. No order check, share draft or other
draft may be drawn for the payment of which money has not been
appropriated according to law. The school district treasurer may
receive money raised in extracurricular activities. The school
board may by resolution authorize the use of facsimile signatures
as provided in s. 66.0607 (3). A certified copy of the resolution
shall be filed with the school district clerk and each public depository concerned.
(3) Enter in the treasurer’s account books all money received
and disbursed by the treasurer, specifying the source from which
it was received, the person to whom it was paid and the object for
which it was paid.
(4) Present to the annual meeting a written statement of all
money received and disbursed by the treasurer during the preceding year.
(5) Immediately upon receipt, deposit the funds of the school
district in the name of the school district in a public depository
deposit designated by the school board under s. 120.12 (7). Failure to comply with this subsection shall be prima facie grounds
for removal from office. When such funds are so deposited, the
school district treasurer and his or her bonders are not liable for
losses as defined in s. 34.01 (2). The interest derived from such
funds shall be paid into the school district treasury.
(6) Withdraw funds of the school district deposited in savings
or time deposits by written transfer order in accordance with this
subsection and s. 66.0607. Written transfer orders may be executed only for the purpose of transferring deposits to an authorized deposit of the school district in the same or another authorized public depository. The transfer shall be made directly by
the public depository from which the withdrawal is made. No
transfer order is valid unless signed by the school district clerk
and school district treasurer and countersigned by the school district president. In a school district having 5 or more school board
members, another school board member may countersign transfer
orders in lieu of the school district president. The school board
may, by resolution, authorize the use of facsimile signatures as
provided in s. 66.0607 (3) . A certified copy of the resolution
shall be filed with the school district clerk and each public depository concerned.
