   123.12 Boards of common school districts. 

    Subdivision 1.  The care, management and control of a 
 common district is vested in a board of three members to be 
 known as the school board.  The term of office of a member shall 
 be three years, and until a successor qualifies. The board of 
 each common district shall consist of a chair, a treasurer, and 
 a clerk.  The board may by resolution establish a time and place 
 for regular meeting and no notice of such meeting need be sent 
 to any members of the board. 

    Subd. 2.  The board shall submit to the annual meeting an 
 estimate of the expenses of the district for the coming year for 
 a school term as determined by the board and for such other 
 specified purposes as the board may deem proper.  If such 
 meeting shall fail to vote a sufficient tax to maintain the 
 district for such time, the board shall levy such tax pursuant 
 to and within the limitations of sections 124.226, 124.2716, 
 124.91, 124.912, 124.914, 124.916, and 124.918; but no board 
 shall expend any money or incur any liability for any purpose 
 beyond the sum appropriated by vote of the district for such 
 purpose, or levied by the board pursuant to this subdivision, or 
 on hand and applicable thereto.
