2. Such clerk shall also act as clerk of said district, and shall perform all the clerical and other duties pertaining to his office, and for his services he shall be entitled to receive such compensation as shall be fixed at an annual meeting of such district.

3. In case no provision is made at an annual meeting for the compensation of a clerk, the board of education may fix the same.

4. The board of education in every union free school district whose limits do not correspond with those of an incorporated village or city shall appoint a district treasurer, and a collector who shall hold office during the pleasure of the board. The board shall also fix the compensation of the treasurer. The board of education of such district may also fix the compensation of the collector, which shall be in lieu of all fees to which a school district collector might be entitled, under the provisions of this chapter. The treasurer, collector, village receiver or village collector and town official who acts as school collector, shall deposit and secure all sums of money received and collected by them in the manner provided by section ten of the general municipal law.

In districts under the jurisdiction of a district superintendent of schools, such official undertakings shall also be approved by him. They shall be filed in the office of the clerk of the district. The expense of any undertaking executed pursuant to this section shall be a school district charge.
