7 Sec. 10-17. Statement of affairs. In Class I or Class
8 II county school units the school board may use either a cash
9 basis or accrual system of accounting; however, any board so
10 electing to use the accrual system may not change to a cash
11 basis without the permission of the State Board of Education.
12 School Boards using either a cash basis or accrual system
13 of accounting shall maintain records showing the assets,
14 liabilities and fund balances in such minimum forms as may be
15 prescribed by the State Board of Education. Such boards
16 shall make available to the public publish a statement of the
17 affairs of the district prior to December 1 annually, in such
18 form as may be prescribed by the State Board of Education, by
19 posting the statement on the district's Internet web site, if
20 any, having copies available in the administrative office of
21 the district, and publishing notice on where the statement is
22 available in a newspaper of general circulation published in
23 the respective school district districts and if no newspaper
24 is published in the district then in a newspaper published in
25 the county in which the school district is located and if no
26 newspaper is published in the county then in a newspaper
27 published in the educational service region in which the
28 regional superintendent has supervision and control of such
29 school district in such form as may be prescribed by the
30 State Board of Education. Not later than December 15

4 annually the regional superintendent of schools shall
5 withhold from each treasurer any public moneys due to be
6 distributed to the treasurer until the duties required under
7 this Section have been complied with.
8 When any school district is the administrative district
9 for several school districts operating under a joint
10 agreement as authorized by this Code Act, no receipts or
11 disbursements accruing, received or paid out by that school
12 district as such an administrative district shall be included
13 in the statement of affairs of the district required by this
14 Section. However, that district shall have prepared and made
15 available to the public published, in the same manner and
16 subject to the same requirements as are provided in this
17 Section for the statement of affairs of that district, a
18 statement showing the cash receipts and disbursements by
19 funds (or the revenue, expenses and financial position, if
20 the accrual system of accounting is used) of the district as
21 such administrative district, in the form prescribed by the
22 State Board of Education. The costs of making available to
23 the public publishing this separate statement prepared by
24 such an administrative district shall be apportioned among
25 and paid by the participating districts in the same manner as
26 other costs and expenses accruing to those districts jointly.

28 made available to the public publish a statement showing the
29 cash receipts and disbursements by funds in the form
30 prescribed by the State Board of Education.

5 are located, except with respect to the school board of any
6 school district that no longer is subject to the jurisdiction
7 and authority of a township treasurer or trustees of schools
8 of a township because the district has withdrawn from the
9 jurisdiction and authority of the township treasurer and
10 trustees of schools of the township or because those offices
11 have been abolished as provided in subsection (b) or (c) of
12 Section 5-1, and as to each such school district the
13 statement required by this Section shall be prepared and made
14 available to the public published by the school board of such
