Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide. Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

TREASURERS

105 ILCS 5/8-1
(105 ILCS 5/8-1) (from Ch. 122, par. 8-1)
Sec. 8-1. Treasurers.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (b) and (c), in
Class II county school units the trustees of schools shall appoint a
treasurer who shall be ex-officio clerk of the board. The term of the
township treasurer shall be for a 2 year period beginning and ending on the
first of July. The treasurer shall be a resident of the township, but not a
trustee, or school board member. He shall attend all meetings and keep a
record of the official proceedings of the trustees of schools. Such record
shall be open to public inspection. All proceedings, when recorded, shall
be signed by the president and the clerk. If the clerk is absent, or
refuses to perform any of his duties, a clerk pro tempore may be appointed.
For sufficient cause the treasurer may be removed from office by the
trustees of schools. In case of a vacancy the trustees of schools shall
elect a treasurer for the unexpired term.
(b) In Class I county school units, and in each school district
which forms a part of a Class II county school unit but which has withdrawn
from the jurisdiction and authority of the trustees of schools of the
township in which such school district is located and from the jurisdiction
and authority of the township treasurer in such Class II county
school unit as provided in subsection (b) of Section 5-1, each
school board shall either elect one of its members to serve as treasurer
without salary for a period of one year or appoint someone, not a member of
the school board, as its treasurer, and, except as provided in this
Section the board shall fix his compensation. An appointed treasurer shall
serve at the pleasure of the board. An appointed treasurer shall be at
least 21 years of age, of approved integrity, but not a member of the
county board of school trustees. The records of the treasurer shall be open
to public inspection. Two or more such districts may appoint the same
treasurer. In case of a vacancy caused by the death, resignation or the
removal from office of the school treasurer the school board shall appoint
a treasurer. The school board may determine the temporary incapacity of
its treasurer occasioned by illness, absence from the district or any other
cause which prevents the prompt performance of his duties and appoint an
acting treasurer to serve until the board determines such temporary
incapacity no longer exists.
(c) The school board of each elementary school, high school and unit
school district that forms a part of a
Class II county school unit and that was under the jurisdiction and
authority of the township treasurer and trustees of schools of a township
at the time those offices were abolished in that township as provided in
subsection (c) of Section 5-1 shall appoint a person to serve as treasurer
of the school board. The term of each school treasurer appointed under
this subsection shall be for a 2 year period beginning and ending on the
first day of July. A person appointed under this subsection to serve as
treasurer of a school board shall not be the superintendent of schools of the school district. A person
appointed and serving under this subsection as treasurer of a school board
may concurrently serve as the treasurer of the regional board of school
trustees, if selected to serve in that capacity by the regional board of
school trustees, as provided in subsection (c) of Section 5-1. The school
board shall fix the compensation of its school treasurer, and for
sufficient cause may remove the school treasurer from office. However, if a member of the school board is also school treasurer, he or she shall perform his or her duties as school treasurer without compensation. In the case
of a vacancy, the school board shall appoint a school treasurer for the
unexpired term. The school board may determine the temporary incapacity of
its treasurer due to illness, absence from the district, or other cause
that prevents the prompt performance of his duties and may appoint an
acting treasurer to serve until the school board determines that the
temporary incapacity of its treasurer no longer exists.
(d) After October 1, 1977, each treasurer in a Class I county school
unit appointed under this Section for his first term shall have a financial
background or related experience or 12 semester hours of credit of college
level accounting.
(e) After August 14, 1989, any treasurer appointed under this Section
for his first term in Class II county school units, including any person
appointed by a school board to serve as its treasurer as provided in
subsection (c) of this Section, shall be a certified
public accountant or a certified chief school business official as defined
in part (3) of Section 21-7.3 of this Act. Experience as a township
treasurer in a Class II county school unit prior to July 1, 1989 shall be
deemed the equivalent of certification.
(f) Concurrently with the election or appointment of its own school
treasurer by the school board of a school district which forms a part of a
Class II county school unit but which no longer is subject to the
jurisdiction and authority of a township treasurer or trustees of schools
of a township because the district has withdrawn from the jurisdiction and
authority of the township treasurer and trustees of schools of the township
or because those offices have been abolished as provided in
subsection (b) or (c) of Section 5-1, all funds, accounts, moneys, notes,
bonds, mortgages and effects then held by such township treasurer on behalf or
for the use and benefit of, or then credited by such township treasurer to any
fund or account of such school district shall thereupon be transferred and
paid over by such township treasurer to the school treasurer elected or
appointed by the school board of such school district. In addition the
school treasurer of such school district shall have the right, at all
reasonable times, to inspect all cash books, loan books, district account
books and journals kept by such township treasurer as provided in Section
8-5 and to copy or otherwise reproduce such portions thereof as such school
treasurer deems necessary for the performance of his duties.
(g) Upon the abolition of the offices of the township treasurer and
trustee of schools of a township as provided in subsection (c) of Section
5-1, and subject to the limitation of subsection (b) of Section 8-5 with
respect to certain records to be surrendered to the regional board of
school trustees, and except as otherwise provided in subsection (c) of
Section 5-1 with respect to the common school lands and township loanable
funds of that township and with respect to the records, books and accounts
relating to those common school lands and township loanable funds, all
school funds and accounts, moneys, notes, bonds, securities, district
account books and other documents, records and effects then held by the
former township treasurer on behalf or for the use and benefit of, or then
credited by the former township treasurer to any fund or account of any
school district that was under the jurisdiction and authority of the
township treasurer at the time the office of that township treasurer was
abolished shall thereupon be transferred and paid over by the former
township treasurer to the appropriate school treasurer appointed by the
school board of each such district under subsection (c) of this Section 8-1.
(h) If the school district of a school treasurer elected or appointed under
this Section is receiving emergency State financial assistance under
Article 1B, that school treasurer is subject to the provisions of Article 1B.

Class I county school units and conditioned upon the faithful discharge of
his or her duties, except that the bond required of the school treasurer of
a school district which is located in a Class II county school unit but
which no longer is subject to the jurisdiction and authority of a township

abolished as provided in subsection (b) or (c) of Section 5-1 shall be
payable to the school board of each district for which he or she is
treasurer or its successor in office and conditioned upon the faithful
discharge of his or her duties. The penalty of the bond shall be determined by the school board in an amount no less than 10%

which he is to have the custody as measured on the final day of the school district's most recent fiscal year. The bond of the township
treasurer shall be approved by at least
a majority of the township trustees in Class II county school units;
provided that in those school districts that are located in a Class II
county school unit but are no longer subject to the jurisdiction and

because those offices have been abolished as provided in subsection (b) or
(c) of Section 5-1) and in Class I county school units, the bond shall be
approved by at least a majority of the members of the school board; and in
all cases the bond shall be filed with the regional superintendent of
