shall be complied with. If the condition of such bond be violated, such court, upon receiving satisfactory evidence of the fact in any action brought therefor shall make an order declaring such bond forfeited and directing such judgment to be thenceforth enforced. Such board of education or board of trustees may, at any time within one year after any such bond shall be declared forfeited, have execution issued against any or all of the parties to such bond, to collect the amount thereof; and all moneys paid or collected on such bond shall be paid over to the parental school fund of such city, or city and county, or school district.

The expense incurred by any city, or city and county, or school district in purchasing or renting a school site, erecting or renting a building and equipping the same, for the maintenance of a parental school, shall be paid out of funds other than those collected for the maintenance of schools. The salaries of teachers and the expense for all school supplies in a parental school shall be paid out of the same funds from which similar salaries and expense are paid for primary and grammar schools, but all other expense incurred in the maintenance of such parental schools shall be paid out of the parental school fund.
