- School district: includes common and union high school districts. See Oregon Statutes 328.001
(2) Except as provided in ORS § 328.445 (2), warrants in payment of school district obligations shall be issued only when there are insufficient funds to pay the warrant and shall be indorsed ‘not paid for want of funds’. Warrants may be issued at the end of each school month, if necessary. School warrants shall not be issued without a vote of the district school board. They must be signed by the chairperson of the board and countersigned by the district clerk. If the chairperson is absent or unable to execute the warrants, the board may authorize any member of the board to act as chairperson in executing the warrants.
