Target Audiences: School Districts
The goal of this session is to introduce participants to the municipal bond industry, its key words, processes, and players in a non-technical, engaging way. We have found this session also helps experienced issuers increase their understanding in such a way as to more effectively describe the process to governing bodies, constituents and colleagues. The session ends with a special segment: “Important Update on Disclosure Practices” along with plenty of time for Q&A. This is not a “how to” lecture. The complex details of issuing bonds are better left to “Bonds 102”. Instead, this is a conceptual roadmap to help the reader gain a better footing in the world of bond related public finance.
Course Learning Objectives:
- Overview of Municipal Bonds
- Eligibility requirements
- Legal requirements of Municipal Bonds
- Update on disclosure practices
This course will enhance the audience’s working knowledge as applicable to borrowing funds using Qualified Zone Academy
Bonds. This session will provide the audience with real life examples of how QZABs have benefited other schools throughout the country, as well as provide the audience with an option to improve their district’s instructional facilities and programs.
