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.
