What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Every Ohio community school (the state’s term for a public charter school) has a designated fiscal officer who handles the school’s public funds. Under ORC 3314.011, before entering on duties the fiscal officer executes a bond payable to the state, conditioned on the faithful performance of all official duties.
The bond is a public-funds, faithful-performance guarantee. If the fiscal officer mishandles, misapplies, or fails to account for the school’s money, the state — and ultimately the public — can recover against the bond. A copy is certified to the county auditor of the county where the school is located.
The amount and surety are approved by the school’s governing authority by resolution. This page reflects a $50,000 filing; if your governing authority set a different amount, send it to us and we’ll issue exactly that. Either way, it is not insurance for the officer — if the surety pays, the officer repays the surety.
