ACCELERATING THE TIMELINE

Bridge Financing Provides Construction and Financial Benefits

The Poway Unified School District Board of Education approved a plan in May 2004 to accelerate the completion of the Building for Success program from 2015 to a date as early as 2009. This plan provides an interim financing program that will be paid back from the final Proposition U Bond sales scheduled for 2009 and 2013. This interim financing program will “bridge” the gap between the Bond sale dates and the accelerated construction program. The acceleration of the program will provide several benefits, including:
  • completing upgraded facilities ahead of schedule
  • reducing the impact of construction inflation
  • increasing the opportunity for State matching funds
  • reducing total program fixed overhead costs
The total impact of these benefits is estimated to provide $8-$18 million of additional improvements from the original Bond authorization of $198 million.
