AN ACTenabling school districts to appoint a school district treasurer.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 New Section; Appointed School Treasurer. Amend RSA 197 by inserting after section 23-a the following new section:
197:23-b Appointed School Treasurer. Any school district which is not a cooperative school district as defined in RSA 195:1 may, under an article in the warrant for the annual school district meeting, vote to authorize the appointment rather than the election of a school district treasurer. Such appointment shall be made in accordance with RSA 671:6 by the school board. Whenever a school board appoints a treasurer, such appointment shall be made in writing and shall include any compensation to be paid. Any school district may rescind a vote to appoint a school district treasurer under an article in the warrant for the annual school district meeting. If such article to rescind the appointment of a treasurer is approved, then the school district shall reinstate the office of elected treasurer and shall fill the vacancy in accordance with RSA 197:26.
2 Other Officers. Amend RSA 671:6 to read as follows:
671:6 Other Officers. Except as provided under RSA 671:6-a and 197:23-b, at each school district election, each school district which is not a cooperative school district as defined in RSA 195:1 shall elect a school district clerk, moderator, treasurer, and such optional officers as the voters of the district shall have voted to elect to manage the affairs of the district. The moderator shall take office upon the adjournment of the regular school district meeting held in the year of the moderator's election and upon the moderator's qualification for office, whichever is later. The treasurer shall take office upon the close of the fiscal year for the district and upon the treasurer's qualification for office, whichever is later. An optional officer may not be elected by official ballot until the annual district election first following the establishment of the office. The school district may, by vote, determine to elect a temporary officer or authorize the school board to appoint a temporary officer to serve until the next annual district election.
3 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
