805.05 - Payment for Goods and Services

Only the board may authorize the issue of warrants for payment of claims against the school district for goods and services. The board will allow such warrants after goods and services have been received and accepted in compliance with board policy and audited by the board.

The Board of Directors, by resolution, may authorize the Board Secretary to issue warrants when the Board of Directors is not in session, for payments of freight, drayage, express, postage, printing, water, lights, telephone rents, but only upon verified bills filed with the Secretary, and for payment of salaries pursuant to the terms of a written contract.  In addition, the Board of Directors may, by resolution, authorize the Secretary, upon approval of the Board President, to issue warrants when the Board of Directors is not in session, but only upon verified bills filed with the Secretary.

All bills and salaries for which warrants are issued prior to audit and allowance by the Board must be passed upon the Board of Directors at the next meeting and be entered in the minutes of the Secretary.
