9.C. Bond Process Information and Example
Discussion:
Jerry Spethman from DA Davidson & Company shared basic information on bond financing for school districts in South Dakota and specifically for Douglas. His overview laid out the options available for most school districts. However, Douglas School District is unique in that a large portion of the district is on federal property, which limits the District's ability to bond. While Douglas could technically generate as much as $81 million through a bond, that scenario would likely be cost prohibitive for property owners. It was good information to gain a better understanding of the different methods available to fund building projects.
