Savings to Taxpayers The District issued General Obligation Bonds which have the lowest borrowing cost of any debt financing technique available to California school districts. The timing of the Measure E financing sale helped the District complete projects in a lower-cost environment, saving taxpayer dollars. As a result of the District s strong credit ratings, tax base growth, and the low interest rates achieved, the District will repay the bonds earlier which results in savings to taxpayers. The rating agencies (S&P & Moody s) cited the District s solid financial performance, large and diverse tax base, and good management as rationale for their ratings. Stronger credit ratings mean lower interest rates for bonds, which also saves taxpayer money.
District Stewardship of Measure E Funds? Did we demonstrate that we followed the wishes of the voters as outlined in the ballot-project list? Did we complete the projects within the timeline and within the budgets? What did our External/Independent auditors say about the expenditures of Measure E funds? Have we been reporting regularly to our Citizens Oversight Committee?
