Community college funds are public funds within the meaning of the Public Funds Investment Act and may be invested by the board as provided in that Act, except as otherwise provided in this Act.
Any community college district, with the approval of its board, is authorized to enter into agreements of any definite or indefinite term regarding the deposit, redeposit, investment, reinvestment or withdrawal of community college funds, including, without limitation, agreements with other community college districts, agreements with township and school treasurers authorized by Section 8-7 of the School Code and agreements with educational service regions authorized by Section 3-9.1 of the School Code.
Each community college district is permitted to (i) combine moneys from more than one fund of such community college district for the purpose of investing such funds and (ii) join with other community college districts, with township and school treasurers and with educational service regions in investing community college funds, school funds and educational service region funds. Such joint investments shall be made only in investments authorized by law for the investment of community college funds or, in the case of investments made jointly with school and township treasurers and educational service regions, in investments authorized by law for the investment of community college funds, school funds and educational service region funds. When moneys of more than one fund of a single community college district are combined for investment purposes or when moneys of a community college district are combined with moneys of other community college districts, school districts or educational service regions, the moneys combined for such purpose shall be accounted for separately in all respects, and the earnings from such investment shall be separately and individually computed and recorded, and credited to the fund or community college district, school district or educational service region, as the case may be, for which the investment was acquired.
