The department shall designate a local school board as a board of finance if:

(1) the local school board shows to the satisfaction of the department that it has personnel properly trained to keep accurate and complete fiscal records;

The governing body of a proposed state-chartered charter school shall qualify as a board of finance before the first year of operation of the charter school. The governing body of a state-chartered charter school designated as a board of finance may require all funds distributed to, allocated to or collected for the state-chartered charter school to be deposited with the governing body. The commission shall designate the governing body of a state-chartered charter school as a board of finance if:
