IV. REORGANIZATION OF THE BOARD

The Temporary President will accept nominations for President, Vice-President and Treasurer, respectively. Officers will serve for one year with the exception of the Treasurer whose term of office expires on June 30, 2017. Board members will cast their ballots for the respective officers.
C. Bonding of Treasurer
The Administration recommends approval of the bonding of the District’s treasurer at $50,000. The School Code requires that each district’s treasurer be bonded. Because the Treasurer for the Southern Lehigh School District does not actually handle cash or negotiable instruments of the district, the amount of the bond traditionally has been low.
D. Facsimile Plates
The Administration recommends authorization to use facsimile signature plates of the President, Treasurer, and Secretary when signing school district checks. This request is necessary each year when officers of the Board change.
E. Depository Resolutions
The Administration recommends authorization for the Board Secretary to execute and submit the standard resolutions, signature cards, and any other forms necessary to reflect the change in President and Treasurer with the district’s depositories.
Consent agenda items are marked with an asterisk throughout the regular agenda and summarized on a separate sheet.
