Dr. Greene presented her monthly report (attached).

Representative from D.A. Davidson presented an overview of the bond financing situation (attached).

In the case that the district does not appropriate bond money until 2028, Stargate will need to seek $19 million in financing to proceed with construction plans.  Davidson is seeking to arrange a long-term financing structure that can be paid off in 3 years and amortized over 40 years.  The 40- year amortization ensures that in a worst-case scenario where the district does not appropriate the funds, the school would be able to pay the financing over the long term.  The first 3 years would be interest only. The proposal was sent to several banks. If banks do not respond to the RFP, the financing can be pursued through the bond market.  

Ms. Whitney reviewed the financial documents (attached). 

PPR is up about $300 per student. Staff will receive 2.5% salary increase for next year. Staff bonuses will be given at the same levels as last year.

Budget will be finalized and approved at the June meeting.
