Board approves refinancing of $30.1 million in bonds and a $1 million interest-free state loan
What happened
On July 23 the board voted 6-0 to refinance existing general obligation bonds (Series 2026, offering about $30,140,000) and to join the Colorado ETRAN interest-free loan program, with a district note of up to $1,000,000.
Why it matters to families
Refinancing can lower interest costs on voter-approved bonds. The state loan helps cover cash flow before tax money arrives.
