Three certified copies of the resolution shall be transmitted to the county superintendent of schools. If he approves the establishment of the fund, the county superintendent shall endorse his consent on the resolution and return one copy to the governing body of the district, and transmit one copy to the county auditor.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (b) of this section, the officer for whose use the revolving cash fund is created shall file with the governing body of the district a bond in favor of the district, executed by him as principal and by a surety company authorized under the laws of the state to execute bonds as surety, in an amount not less than double the amount of the revolving cash fund.

(b) In lieu of the bond required by subdivision (a) of this section, an officer may be bonded as provided by Section 41021. 42801.5. Notwithstanding the requirement to provide for indemnity bonds pursuant to Sections 42650 and 42801, the governing board of a school district may, in lieu thereof, insure against losses caused by an employee or an officer of a school district if the insurance gives the same or greater protection to the school district that a bond would provide in indemnifying the school district against any loss caused by the employee or officer of the district. 42802. No bond shall be required when the revolving cash fund does not at any time exceed twenty-five dollars ($25). 42803. The governing board of the district shall draw an order, on the form and in the manner required by law for order, requisition, and warrant for the payment of school moneys, payable from the county or special fund of the district, in favor of the officer for whose use the revolving cash fund is created, for the amount of the revolving cash fund, and transmit the order to the county superintendent of schools accompanied by the bond and a certified copy of the resolution. Upon his approving the order, the county superintendent of schools shall detach and retain the bond. Upon his allowing and signing the warrant, the county auditor shall detach and retain the certified copy of the resolution and the county treasurer shall pay the warrant. 42804. The person entrusted with the revolving fund shall not be authorized to expend any portion of the fund except for services or material, the securing or purchasing of which is a legal charge against the district, and no expenditure shall be made unless a receipt is obtained therefor setting forth the date and the purpose of the expenditure and the amount expended. The governing board of any school district may establish and account for the revolving fund in one or more banks. The account shall be known as "The Revolving Fund Account of (insert name of district) District" and shall be established in the custody of the officer for whose use the revolving cash fund is created who shall be responsible for the payment into the account or accounts of all moneys required to be reimbursed into the account or accounts, and for all expenditures therefrom, subject to such regulations as the governing board prescribes. A bill shall be presented to the district monthly, or oftener if necessary, for the reimbursement of the fund in the same manner as other bills are presented. Bills shall be supported by the receipts required. All sums received in payment of the bills shall be returned to the revolving cash fund or bank account or accounts and each person entrusted with the revolving cash fund shall, upon demand of the county superintendent of schools or the county auditor or of the governing board of the district, give an account of the fund. 42805. The governing board of the district may at any time reduce or discontinue any revolving cash fund established by its order.

If the fund is discontinued, the person using it shall immediately refund the amount thereof to the county treasurer. In either event a reasonable time shall be allowed the person to reimburse himself by bills presented to the school district for expenditures legally made from the fund. 42806. The county superintendent of schools may, with the consent of the county board of education, establish a revolving cash fund for the use of the chief accounting officer of the county superintendent of schools, by adopting a resolution setting forth the necessity for the revolving cash fund, the officer for whom and the purposes for which the revolving cash fund shall be available, and the amount of the fund. The purposes for which the revolving cash fund shall be available shall include the purposes specified in Section 45167. The amount of the fund shall not be more than 2 percent of the estimated expenditures of the county superintendent of schools for the current fiscal year and shall not in any event exceed thirty thousand dollars ($30,000).
