18A:24-71.  Investment of proceeds;  disposition of excess borrowed over authorizations;  reserve for payment of bonds
    Because the amounts actually borrowed on bonds issued pursuant to this act,  together with amounts borrowed on bonds issued under other laws, may from time  to time exceed the total amount authorized by law to be borrowed and expended  for school purposes, any excess so borrowed from time to time shall be held in  a reserve to be applied to meet redemptions and maturities. Where the amount  to be invested is less than such limit as may be specified by the bond  resolution, or is reasonably expected to be invested for a short period, the  same may be temporarily invested in a certificate or certificates of deposit or  other similar investment, of the fiscal agent or any other financial  institution authorized to do business in this State.  In other cases the  investments may be made in such manner as other funds of a board of education  may be invested, or the issuing board may negotiate and enter into an agreement  for the making of investments for its account, either in a separate account or  in a common fund with other like investments for other boards of education, by  the State Investment Council in the Department of the Treasury, which council is hereby authorized to enter into and perform such agreements and to make investments in any security or securities in which it may be authorized to make  investments under any of the laws applicable to it.
