Check out California Civil Code section 11......it says that a secular act to be done by law or contract on a holiday (including a Sunday, see CC 7) may be done on the following business day. I suppose it'd be possible to write a contract that would alter this, but I've never seen one. As to place and method of payment, you should make your payments as instructed in your written contract; making payments directly to the board will too often result in mishandling.
