ARTICLE 3 ENFORCEMENT BOARDS CREATED PRIOR TO JANUARY 1, 2003

36-80-4. Delegation of governing body's investment authority to financial officer.

(Ga. L. 1964, p. 741, § 2.)

OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Phrase "certificates of deposit" as used in former Code 1933, § 32-942 (see O.C.G.A. § 20-2-411) applied to certificates of deposit issued by commercial banks and to certificates of deposit issued by federal or state chartered savings and loan associations. The investment of school funds in "certificates of deposit" issued by institutions other than those named would present a question of whether such investment would be prudent and in the exercise of sufficient care and diligence. 1969 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 69-306.

Responsibility of school officials.

- Local school officials, in making legally authorized investments of local school funds, are not responsible if that investment results in a loss rather than a gain so long as the investment, at the time the investment was made, was reasonably prudent and cautious under the circumstances, and especially if the loss is occasioned by economic conditions over which the officials have no control. 1969 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 69-306.
