§ 103510 Refunding Bonds Issuance

This law lets the board sell new refunding bonds to pay off old district bonds, covering the old principal, interest, any call premiums, and the costs of doing the swap.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can create and sell refunding bonds whenever it thinks is best.
  • •Refunding bonds can cover all or part of the old bond’s principal, interest, any call premium, and the refunding costs.
  • •No public election is required to approve the refunding bond issue.
  • •The board decides how the new bonds will be swapped for the old ones.

Example

A school district has $10 million of old bonds that are about to be called. The board issues $10 million of new refunding bonds, uses the money to pay off the old bonds, and closes the old debt.

The board can decide the terms, timing, and how the new bonds will be exchanged for the old ones without needing a public election.
