(1) Each board of education shall appoint a bank, trust company, or savings and loan association to serve as its depository, and if its annual receipts from all sources <br>exceed one hundred thousand dollars (&#36;100,000), it may designate three (3) <br>depositories, except boards of education of school districts in counties containing <br>cities of the first class may designate up to six (6) depositories. The depository may <br>be designated for a period not to exceed two (2) years, and before entering upon its <br>duties shall agree with the board as to the rate of interest to be paid on average daily <br>or monthly balances.

(3) The depository shall hold for the board all funds deposited by the treasurer of the board or its tax collector or duly authorized agent, subject to withdrawal by the <br>board at any time, and shall pay all funds so deposited to such person and in such <br>manner as the board directs. The depository shall keep full and complete accounts <br>of all of the board's funds, and make reports to the board or its authorized agents <br>upon request. The depository shall keep all records relating to the transactions and <br>duties of the office and turn them over to the successor of its office along with all <br>school funds in hand.
