SECTION 38090-38095
38090. Money received for the sale of food or for any services performed by the cafeterias may be paid into the county treasury to the credit of the "cafeteria fund" of the particular school district. 38091. The cafeteria fund shall be used only for those expenditures authorized by the governing board as necessary for the operation of school cafeterias, including, but not limited to, expenditures for the lease or purchase of additional cafeteria equipment for the central food processing plant, vending machines and their installation and housing, and computer equipment and related software. Whenever a cafeteria fund is operated pursuant to these provisions, the governing board may authorize the establishment of one or more cafeteria revolving accounts. For accounting purposes, a cafeteria revolving account is to be treated as a revolving cash account of the cafeteria fund, providing that the receipt of income and expenditures made from a cafeteria revolving account become recorded as income and expenditures of the cafeteria fund. Appropriate transfers, replenishments, and deposits between the cafeteria fund and a cafeteria revolving account may occur as are necessary to comply with accounting requirements. A cafeteria revolving account may receive and expend moneys in the same manner and for the same purposes as authorized for a cafeteria account. The governing board of any school district, or of two or more school districts governed by governing boards of identical personnel, may also make expenditures from the cafeteria fund for the construction, alteration, or improvement of a central food processing plant, for the installation of additional cafeteria equipment for the central food processing plant, and for the lease or purchase of vehicles used primarily in connection with the central food processing plant. 38092. The governing board of any school district with an average daily attendance of over 100,000 may allow as an expenditure from the cafeteria fund or account a share of money agreed upon pursuant to a contract, which is generated from the joint sale of items between the cafeteria and an associated student body student store. The expenditure must result from an agreement entered into by the cafeteria and the associated student body in which pupils will participate in the operation of the store. 38093. The governing board of any school district may establish an account for each cafeteria established in a school of the district, or for all cafeterias established in the schools of the district, in one or more banks. The account shall be known as "The Cafeteria Account of (insert name of district) District." If the account is established for one of several cafeterias, it shall be known as "The Cafeteria Account of the (insert name of school) School of (insert name of district) District." All receipts of the cafeteria, or cafeterias, as the case may be, derived from the sale of food shall be deposited in the account and shall be expended only for the maintenance of the cafeteria, or cafeterias, exclusive of items made a charge against the funds of the school district by this chapter, and items made a charge against the funds of the school district by resolution of the governing board under authority of this chapter. 38094. The governing board of the district shall designate an employee or employees of the district to have custody of the account or accounts, who shall be responsible for the payment into the account or accounts of all moneys required to be paid into the account or accounts, and for all expenditures therefrom, subject to any regulations that the governing board prescribes. 38095. Upon the order of the governing board of any district having a cafeteria fund in the county treasury and establishing an account, or accounts, the county treasurer shall deposit the money in the fund to the account, or accounts, and shall notify the county auditor and county or city and county superintendent of schools of his action. If the money is to be deposited in more than one account, the governing board of the district shall designate the amount to be placed in each account.
