Peninsula School District has refinanced its
outstanding 1999 bonds in order to take
advantage of lower interest rates. The recent
refinancing will save the District’s taxpayers a
total of over $85,000 during the next three
years. Superintendent Bouck emphasized that
these savings flow directly to taxpayers through
reduced tax levies and are not available for
District expenses. “This is a direct savings to
our community members in the form of taxes they
expected, but will not have to pay,” Bouck said.
The Peninsula School Board
accomplished these savings by approving the
issuance of $2,385,000 in refunding bonds at its
meeting held on September 16, 2009. The District
has been monitoring bond market conditions and
recent low interest rates allowed the District
to exceed its savings target. Interest rates
averaged 1.35% on the new bonds compared to
4.20% on the old debt.

We would like to thank all parents for being supportive of the fact that we cannot always answer every phone call. We are continuing our efforts to find solutions to this dilemma. In that effort, we have sent home a complete list of GHHS staff phone numbers so you will have the (dial) direct number at your fingertips and wont need to go through the reception desk to be transferred. |
