Tonight’s Discussion Unrestricted Capital Outlay Budget – State funded monies used to purchase and lease furniture, equipment, vehicles, textbooks, technology, and instructional aides. School District Bond – An agreement between the school district and those who hold the bonds that in exchange for money today, the district will repay bondholders principal and interest over future years. Bonds must be approved by district voters. Proceeds from bond sales may be used for construction, renovations, upgrades and some limited capital needs.
Why would GUHSD need to issue bonds ? Facilities Funding State Funding for school renovation has been virtually eliminated GUHSD has 11 campuses and over 2.5 million square feet of facilities to maintain New technology and facility improvements are needed to maintain student safety and success Capital Funding The budget reduces GUHSD annual capital funding by $ 5 million (63% of allocation) budget will reduce funding $7.5 million (94% of allocation) GUHSD has lost over $25 million in capital funding since 2010
