OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Right to specify depository for school funds.

- County commissioners do have the legal right to specify the bank to be used as a depository for school funds. 1965-66 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 65-15.

Exercise of right by those other than county authorities.

- The statutory authority of the governing authorities of a county to designate the depository to be used by the county board of education applies to all school funds under the jurisdiction and control of the school board; the county board of education and other specified persons in this section may designate such a depository only when the county authorities fail to designate a depository. 1967 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 67-103.

Transfer of school funds when depository redesignated.

- When a depository has been selected by the school board due to failure of the county authorities to act, and the county authorities at some later date then do decide to specify a depository for the school fund, the county school board should, if an immediate transfer would for some reason interfere with school operations, be given a reasonable time to transfer such funds, so as not to interfere with education in the county. 1965-66 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 65-15.
