§ 4110. Attendance officers. 1. The principal teacher of the Indian

schools on each reservation shall supervise the enforcement of this

article within said reservation and shall appoint, subject to the

approval of the commissioner of education, and remove at pleasure such

number of attendance officers as the commissioner of education shall

deem necessary, whose jurisdictions shall extend over all school

districts on the reservation for which they shall be appointed. Such

principal teachers are also vested with the same power and authority as

the attendance officers appointed by them.

2. If the education of Indian children of the reservation shall be

provided pursuant to the provisions of subdivision two of section

forty-one hundred one of this chapter, the attendance officer or

officers of the school district providing such education shall have

jurisdiction over all Indian children on the reservation. Such

attendance officers shall not, however, be entitled to receive from the

commissioner of education the payment for services provided in section

forty-one hundred fourteen of this chapter.

3. The commissioner of education may appoint and remove at pleasure

such attendance officers as he shall deem necessary, who shall have

jurisdiction over all children other than Indian children on the

reservation for which they shall be appointed. Such attendance officers

shall receive such sum per day or part thereof as shall be fixed by the

commissioner of education for each day or part thereof necessarily

employed as such attendance officers. Compensation of attendance

officers herein provided for shall be audited by the commissioner of

education and paid in the same manner as other expenses incurred

pursuant to this article.
