The Kentucky School Treasurer Performance Bond is required by the Department of Education, Division of Distinct Operations. The bond states that the treasurer must account to the proper authorities, and pay over to all parties legally entitled thereto, on the proper vouchers only, any and all funds that may come into his/her hands on an annual basis.
This surety bond is a fidelity bond which is a requirement of the local board of education for the board treasurer, finance officer or others who are responsible for district funds or who receive and expend funds on behalf of the school district. The bonds must be submitted by July 1 of each year. The cost of bonds shall be a liability of the general fund or of any account which the specific bond protects. The penal sum of any bond shall be determined by the following table based on an exposure factor of twenty (20) percent of the total current assets plus ten (10) percent of the total revenue in the prior fiscal year:
