The estimated total principal amount of that borrowing is $8,945,442 and the estimated total interest to be paid thereon is $17,222,291. The estimated duration of the millage levy associated with that borrowing is 22 years and the estimated computed millage rate for such levy is 10 mills. The estimated computed millage rate may change based on changes in certain circumstances.

The total amount of qualified bonds currently outstanding is $174,600,000. The total amount of qualified loans currently outstanding is approximately $7,258,143.

(Pursuant to State law, expenditure of bond proceeds must be audited, and the proceeds cannot be used for repair or maintenance costs, teacher, administrator or employee salaries, or other operating expenses.)
