II. Facility
A.
BCCG Feasibility Study and 5 Year Projections
- Group met to review three sets of growth projections relative to bond / debt financing capacity: no student growth, growth to 502 students, and growth to 648 students
- Group also reviewed BCCG cost projections to understand impact versus internal projections
- As part of this discussion, the group agreed to approach First Citizens and potentially BB&T with its financial forecasts in order to get alternative viewpoints relative to possible debt capacity. These data points would help in terms of dialing in the working financial model
- The group also discussed the implications of accelerating its growth plan in order to determine whether topline revenue could be increased. Key discussion topics included: reasonableness of per-pupil funding assumptions, impact to culture, impact to teacher job requirements, etc.
- The group also discussed the need to obtain additional information and reformat the financial presentation style. Shannon requested that specific additional due diligence questions be sent to her
