Tax Money Saved School Board


 Anita Weston, Reporter 

October 18 2012 - RANDOLPH - The School Board took advantage of an opportunity to lower interest rates of the school bond that was issued a number of years ago.  This was done by retiring the older bonds that have a higher interest rate for new ones that carry a much smaller interest rate.  In the process of doing this, the School Board was able to save the citizens of the County approximately $319,000.  The bonds still have several years to run, but by dividing the number of years into this amount saved, it was determined that the schools will be saving approximately $40,000 a year in interest payments.
