SECTION 2400-2403

2400. The county superintendent of schools, or, when so directed by
him or her, the county purchasing agent, shall, whenever a school
supply revolving fund is established, purchase school supplies and
equipment for the school districts of the county which are required
or authorized to purchase supplies or equipment through him or her,
and upon requisition therefor by the proper authorities of the
district shall deliver or cause the supplies to be delivered to the
district together with a memorandum of the amount of the cost of the
supplies delivered.

2401. Upon proper evidence of the receipt by any school district of
the school supplies and equipment, and upon approval by the county
superintendent of schools for payment of the invoice therefor, he
shall draw his requisition upon the county auditor against the proper
funds of the district in favor of the school supply revolving fund
for the cost of the supplies and equipment plus a charge, not to
exceed 10 percent of the cost, to cover expenses of handling and
possible losses. He shall thereupon draw his requisition upon the
county auditor against the school supply revolving fund in favor of
the vendor of the supplies and equipment in the amount of the
approved invoice. The requisitions, when allowed and signed by the
county auditor, constitute warrants on the county treasurer against
the funds of the district and against the school supply revolving
fund, respectively.

2402. The county superintendent of schools, or, if so directed by
him, the county purchasing agent, may employ such help as is
necessary to care for the receiving, handling, and forwarding of
school supplies and equipment, and the necessary wages and expenses
for the help shall be paid from the school supply revolving fund on
requisition by the superintendent.

2403. The superintendent of schools may determine to abolish the
school supply revolving fund in his county by serving notice in
writing upon the auditor and treasurer of the county. Upon filing the
notice discontinuing the fund, the superintendent of schools shall
immediately arrange for the sale of supplies in his possession at
their market price at the time of the sale plus any handling charges
that may be charged against them. The sums secured from the sale
shall be deposited by the superintendent of schools in the revolving
fund which shall then be returned by the auditor to the respective
districts from which it was created. A determination upon the part of
the superintendent of schools to dispose of the school supply
revolving fund shall not prejudice his right at a future time to
recreate the fund.
