6.2. Phase II Senior High School Renovation Bonds
Description:
The Finance Committee received an update on the second phase of debt financing for the Senior High School Renovation. Current market rates are within the expected range when this renovation project was being planned. Bond yields are expected to stay relatively stable within a range with occasional volatility just like the District experienced in 2025 for the first phase of financing. Yields can be dependent on geopolitical events, economic indicator data and the pace of Fed rate changes. A good strategy in these circumstances is to give the seller of the bonds the longest runway to get things off the ground with the hope of finding a favorable opportunity along the way. Alisha from PNC Capital Markets will be at the October Committee meeting to present the preliminary financing data for the $24 million issue. If the Board is agreeable, it can vote to appoint PNC Capital Markets and authorize them to proceed with the issue. Our new Bond Counsel, Tim Wachter, may then attend the November meeting to review the resolutions that will authorize the funding of the Series of 2027 general obligation bonds.
This is an informational item and requires no current Board action. |
