  • definition

(1)

Within fifteen days after a school district receives the official abstract of votes pursuant to section 1-10-102, C.R.S., the incumbent secretary of the school district shall call a special meeting of the board of education of the district for the purpose of selecting officers of the board. At the meeting the incumbent president of the board shall preside until a successor has been elected and qualified.

(2)

The officers of a board of education of a school district shall be a president, a vice-president, a secretary, and a treasurer, and, at the discretion of the board, an assistant secretary and an assistant treasurer. One person may simultaneously hold the offices of secretary and treasurer, or the offices of assistant secretary and assistant treasurer if there be such offices.

(3)

The president and vice-president shall be members of the board, shall be elected by a majority of the board, and shall each hold office for a term of two years and until a successor has been elected and qualified. Whenever a vacancy occurs in either office, the remaining members of the board shall elect a successor to fill the vacancy for the unexpired term. A vacancy shall occur in either office under the same conditions and in the same manner prescribed for a vacancy occurring in the office of a school director. Whenever a vacancy occurs in the office of a school director who is also president or vice-president of the board, nothing contained in this section shall be construed to mean that the person appointed to fill the vacant office of school director shall also be entitled to serve as such officer of the board.

(a)

The secretary and treasurer, and the assistant secretary and assistant treasurer if there be such offices, shall be appointed by the board. They may or may not be members of the board and shall hold their offices at the pleasure of the board.

(b)

Except as provided in paragraph (d) of this subsection (4), no person shall enter upon the office of secretary or treasurer, or assistant secretary or assistant treasurer if there are such offices, until he or she has given a surety bond, in form satisfactory to the board, in the amount of five thousand dollars, conditioned upon the faithful performance of his or her duties as required by law and prescribed by the bylaws of the board of education. In addition, except as provided in paragraph (d) of this subsection (4), the treasurer, and the assistant treasurer if there be such office, shall give bond in such further amount, in such form, and for such purposes as the board may require.

(c)

The board may also appoint and authorize any other person to act as custodian of moneys belonging to the district. Except as provided in paragraph (d) of this subsection (4), such person shall give surety bonds, in such amount and form and for such purposes as the board may require.

(d)

In lieu of the bonds required by paragraphs (b) and (c) of this subsection (4), a school district may purchase crime insurance coverage on behalf of the officers and employees to protect the school district from any malfeasance on the part of the officer while in office or employees.

(5)

The officers and members of the board of education of a school district may be compensated for their services in an amount determined by written resolution adopted by a majority vote of the board in a public meeting; except that no officer or member of the board may have his or her compensation increased during the term in office to which he or she has been elected or appointed. All officers and members of the board shall be reimbursed for necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their duties in an official capacity in amounts approved by a majority vote of the board in a public meeting.

Any compensation provided to officers and members of the board pursuant to section 22-32-104 (5) shall not be higher than one hundred fifty dollars per day for not more than five days of service per week, excluding federal and state holidays. The board may only receive compensation for days when official board duties are performed. For purposes of this subsection (6)(a), “official board duties” means board meetings and other official activities and duties, including those that are conducted with a majority of the board present.

(b)

After January 1, 2022, any compensation provided to officers and members of the board pursuant to section 22-32-104 (5) and subsection (6)(a) of this section may be adjusted by the board in accordance with changes in the United States department of labor’s bureau of labor statistics consumer price index for Denver-Aurora-Lakewood for all items and all urban consumers, or its successor index.
