§ 101170 District Officer Bond Requirements

This law says that the district treasurer (and any other officer the board wants) must put up a financial guarantee, called a bond, to promise they’ll do their job honestly.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can require the treasurer (or any officer) to post a bond.
  • •The board decides how much the bond will be.
  • •All bonds must be approved by the board and recorded with the county recorder and the district clerk.

Example

A school district hires a treasurer to handle the money. The board decides the treasurer must post a $50,000 bond.

If the treasurer later misuses the funds, the bond can be used to pay back the district. The board sets the amount, approves the bond, and then files it with the county recorder and the district clerk.
