office, shall give bond in such further amount, in such form, and for such purposes
as the board may require.

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

approved by a majority vote of the board in a public meeting.
