Supplemental funding In December, the HISD Board of Trustees approved $212.4 million in additional funding for bond program. Though the additional funding isn’t needed immediately, administrators sought authorization to spend the dollars for project planning and design purposes. The $212.4 million will only be spent if it still is needed after all other bond funds are exhausted. 15
Supplemental funding The additional money will be funded through the issuance of Maintenance Tax Notes and reserves from the 2007 voter- approved bond. The new debt is not expected to impact other school district needs, nor will it impact the district’s credit rating or tax rate. 16
Bond financial report The total for the 2012 Bond Program is $1.89 billion, and the issuance of the bonds has been planned in four sales. Commitments of $573,760,844 (including encumbrances of $307,320,771 and actual expenditures of $266,440,073) leaving $1,316,239,156 of available funding. 17 Total Budget, Commitments & Available Funding to Date Total Budget: $1.89 billion (issuance sales in millions) 2013 (Sold Sept) 2014 (Sold Sept)
