2130 - Clerk, Treasurer and Collector in Union Free School District.

§ 2130. Clerk, treasurer and collector in union free school district.
1. In every union free school district the board of education shall
have the power to appoint one of their number, or some other individual
as clerk of the board of education of such district.

2. Such clerk shall also act as clerk of said district, and shall
perform all the clerical and other duties pertaining to his office, and
for his services he shall be entitled to receive such compensation as
shall be fixed at an annual meeting of such district.

3. In case no provision is made at an annual meeting for the
compensation of a clerk, the board of education may fix the same.

4. The board of education in every union free school district whose
limits do not correspond with those of an incorporated village or city
shall appoint a district treasurer, and a collector who shall hold
office during the pleasure of the board. The board shall also fix the
compensation of the treasurer. The board of education of such district
may also fix the compensation of the collector, which shall be in lieu
of all fees to which a school district collector might be entitled,
under the provisions of this chapter. The treasurer, collector, village
receiver or village collector and town official who acts as school
collector, shall deposit and secure all sums of money received and
collected by them in the manner provided by section ten of the general
municipal law.

Notwithstanding the provisions of section ten of the general municipal
law, the board of education of the Fishers Island union free school
district in the town of Southold, Suffolk county may designate a
depositary located in the state of Connecticut. The board may require a
report by the cashier of the depositaries to be submitted at any regular
meeting of the board of the amount of deposit to the credit of the
treasurer.

5. Such treasurer and collector shall each, and within ten days after
notice in writing of his appointment, duly served upon him, and before
entering upon the duties of his office, execute and deliver to the said
board of education an official undertaking, with such sufficient penalty
and corporate surety as the board may require, conditioned for the
faithful discharge of the duties of his office; and in case such
official undertaking shall not be given within the time specified, such
office shall thereby become vacant, and said board shall thereupon, by
appointment, fill such vacancy. In districts under the jurisdiction of a
district superintendent of schools, such official undertakings shall
also be approved by him. They shall be filed in the office of the clerk
of the district. The expense of any undertaking executed pursuant to
this section shall be a school district charge.

6. So much of this section as relates to the election of a clerk shall
not apply to the towns of Cortlandt and White Plains in Westchester
county.

7. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the board of education
of the Bronxville Union Free School District shall appoint a district
treasurer who shall hold office during the pleasure of the board. The
board shall also fix the compensation of the treasurer. The treasurer
shall deposit and secure all sums of money received and collected by him
or her in the manner provided by section ten of the general municipal
law.
