(a) The treasurer shall give a bond in an amount fixed by the superintendent and principal of the school approximating the total amount of the anticipated funds that will come into the possession of the treasurer at any one (1) time during the regular school year. Bonds shall be filed with the trustee or board of school trustees. The surety on the bonds must be a surety company authorized to do business in Indiana. However, the requirement for giving the bond and the requirement to deposit the receipts in a separate bank account, as required in section 9 of this chapter, do not apply to any school for which the funds, as estimated by the principal, will not exceed three hundred dollars ($300) during a school year.(b) The requirements of this chapter may be fulfilled by providing a comprehensive bonding instrument, including a single blanket position bond, for all extracurricular treasurers. A comprehensive bonding instrument is acceptable instead of individual separate personal position bonds.Pre-2006 Recodification Citation: 20-26-6-5.
