All district monies shall may be included in the county treasurer's investment pool.
B. Except as provided in subsections D and E of this section, All private investment of the district's monies is prohibited.

D. Notwithstanding subsections A, B and C of this section, the district may appoint a treasurer other than the county treasurer to hold, deposit into the district’s banking account, withdraw and invest all district monies other than special payments pursuant to section 48‑5561.01, and may enter into contracts with servicing banks other than the treasurer's servicing bank if all of the following conditions apply:

Interest earned on monies invested by the district is not subject to subsection A of this section.
E. If the district elects to proceed pursuant to subsection D of this section, after each transfer required by section 48‑5561.01, subsection A, has been made, the county treasurer shall transfer any remaining funds as directed by the district board.
