To Refund or Not Refund, that is the Question (CPIM Approved)

View Session
Overview

Fees: $55 (Non-Member) / $30 (Member)

School district treasurers are often confronted with the opportunity of refunding an existing prior bond issue. Often the decision making process involved in deciding if the time is right to take this action is guided by industry professionals. While this is appropriate, the more informed a treasurer can be about the various tools and techniques that are used to evaluate a refunding, the better that treasurer can represent their constituents.

This session will cover various methods for examining the refunding option. Included will be a discussion of net present value savings, opportunity cost index, option value, and negative arbitrage. The session will also discuss alternative payment structures that may be created through the refunding option.

The treasurer should come out of the session with a deep understanding of not only how a refunding works, but also how to evaluate a refunding for efficiency and timing. The treasurer will be armed with a much greater skill set around this topic and will be in a position to insure that industry professionals are providing a full and thorough analysis before proceeding with a refunding bond issue.

Healthy Buildings During and After COVID

View Session
Overview

Fees: $55 (Non-Member) / $30 (Member)

People spend 90% of their time indoors where air is typically 10 times more contaminated. An estimated 25M Americans have asthma, a major cause of absenteeism in schools accounting for nearly 14M missed school days per year in the US. Whether it is the flu, COVID19, MRSA, germs, mold, mildew, or bacteria, we all want to be proactive about protecting the health of all occupants. What can happen inside when the building is unoccupied? This is a panel conversation on Healthy Buildings covering the importance of indoor air quality and proper water treatment and what should be considered to operate a healthy building. Speakers will dive into filtration, ventilation, HVAC system cleaning/disinfecting, and UV-C or ionization units. Speakers will cover the importance of proactive monitoring of water systems. COVID-19 plus empty buildings equals stagnant water which equals increased risk for Legionella. How do breaks in usage impact your system. Finally, the presentation will address how IAQ is directly related to both student and teacher/staff member performance outcomes and driving home the long-term value of high-quality operations and maintenance practices.
