State debt reimbursement for school bonds
The state reimbursement approved for bonds significantly reduces the cost to local taxpayers. Funding of the state reimbursement plan is supported by legislators and is subject to annual legislative
appropriation. The legislature has funded 100 percent of the state’s debt obligation since 1992.
