Series #9: What do you think about this bond issue?
Q: Even if I agree there is a need to do something why run the bond issue now?
A: The Board of Education decided to run a bond issue at this time for a number of reasons. The Board felt that is a legitimate need and it was important to act now rather than wait for a general election in November of 2016. It is reasonable to assume that the cost of construction and materials will only go up over time. Interest rates are at historic lows. The Board felt passing a bond at this time would allow the District to get the most out of their money.
