Introduction The District’s application for Qualified School Construction Bonds (QSCBs) funding was approved through the State lottery process on August 28, 2009. This will allow the District to borrow funds at zero percent interest for years. Our approved application will provide an estimated $4,390,000 of construction resources that can be used to make improvements at Lockeford, Lawrence and McNair. The remaining proceeds from the sale will pay for borrowing discounts and the cost of issuance. At end of that term the funds ($5.5M) must be repaid in full (by a trustee). Lodi was 1 of 43 districts receiving these awards. 1

The McNair Field Renovation Project
Among the numerous deficiencies in the original McNair Construction was the grading and preparation of the grass playfields – situations that have lead to sometimes unplayable field conditions District efforts to maintain the fields in a safe condition have been extraordinary, but the base problems cannot be corrected without substantive additional work, including regrading, reseeding and sprinkler system relocations With this funding in place the necessary improvements to the McNair playfields can get started. 5
