General Information Regarding NSSED Debt Service Three Financing Options for NSSED Special Education Revenue Bonds – Nothing Financed (ALL Member Districts Pay Upfront) – 15 Year Term for Bonds – 20 Year Term for Bonds Amount of Special Education Revenue Bonds will be determined once all Member Districts have determined their contribution method (i.e. upfront or financing). General Total Interest Cost based on current market conditions (June 27, 2008) – 15 Yr. = 4.38% – 20 Yr. = 4.68% III. D

Upfront Payment Contribution Based on Member District’s percentage of Project Allocation. When: – Billed to Member District – July 1, 2009 – Payment Due Date – August 1, 2009 Upfront Payments deposited into Construction Fund account. Interest Income earned can be used to pay project costs – to be determined by the NSSED Governing Board III. F

Upfront Payment Contribution Option III. G

Financing Contribution Option Member Districts that choose to make their contribution using the financing method – NSSED issues a Special Education Revenue Bond – Member Districts do not count their contribution of the debt in their debt limit. – Member Districts make an annual payment for the term of NSSED’s Special Education Revenue Bond. Financing Contribution payments will be billed July 1 and will be due August 1 each year. Payment of Member District’s portion of the NSSED debt is based on the agreed upon Allocation Method. III. G

Summary of Impact to Member Districts Depending upon the choice of 15 year NSSED financing or a 20 year NSSED financing (two options that were presented), Member Districts will pay approximately the same amount as if no Member District paid upfront. Although the percentage participation of the financing amount may differ depending upon which Member Districts pay upfront and which elect to finance, the amount of the individual Member District’s debt service will be substantially the same.
