From AMS Site Report

Boyd Arthurs Middle School is remarkable in the culture and climate that have been sustained from one designation to the next. There are many practices that are consistent from classroom to classroom. The formative assessment process is widespread and thorough. Strategies were observed from posting of student learning objectives to student self-assessment. Teachers allowed for student productive struggle in their questioning techniques and students were called to action in their learning. The Staff has strong programs that creates and maintains developmental appropriateness and supports student needs. Student behavior is engaged, and kind. It is obvious students come to school as learners. The School Board and Central Office support and take pride in the middle school.

Accordingly, subject to any recall of one or more of these individuals, they will not be employed by the school district, on an indefinite basis. 1. DeGayner, Amber 2. Davidson, Justina 3. Wernette, Maria 4. Soltesz, Robert Resolution for Recall The Board authorized the Superintendent to recall laid-off teachers as needed based upon the economic conditions of the district and consistent with the applicable collective bargaining agreements and the governing laws. Resolution Authorizing Issuance of Notes in Anticipation of State School Aid (2019-20) Mrs. Gail Farrell, Business Manager, reported after reviewing the cash flow projections for next year, it has been determined that the district will need to borrow money. When borrowing money, we have the option of locally securing a note or going through the state aid note borrowing pool. To keep our options open as to the best rate possible, a resolution must be passed and documentation sent to the state by June 28, 2019 to participate in the pool. Included in the documentation is a resolution that is recommended to be passed that will allow the district to borrow an amount not to exceed $4,300,000. The Board approved the recommendation to borrow an amount not to exceed $4,300,000 for fiscal year 2019-2020 and that the Resolution Authorizing Issuance of Notes in Anticipation of State School Aid (2019-2020) be approved as presented.

WHEREAS, under the terms of Section 1225 of Act 451, Public Acts of Michigan, 1976, as amended (the

“Act”), a school district is authorized to borrow money for school operations and issue its notes therefor, in one or more series, pledging for the payment thereof monies to be received by it pursuant to the State School Aid Act of 1979, Act 94, Public Acts of Michigan, 1979, as amended (the “State Aid Act”), which notes shall be the full faith and credit obligation of the School District; and

WHEREAS, the estimated amount of the state school aid appropriations allocated or to be allocated to the

School District for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020 (the “2019/2020 State Aid” or the “Pledged State Aid”), is shown in paragraph 1 of Exhibit A; and

WHEREAS, the School District has the need to borrow the sum of not to exceed the amount shown in

paragraph 3 of Exhibit A to pay operating expenses for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019, which amount is estimated to be not more than 70% of the difference between the total state school aid funds apportioned or to be

May 16, 2019 - Supt Scoop – Page 10

apportioned to the School District for the 2019/2020 State Aid and that portion of the 2019/2020 State Aid already received or pledged; and

WHEREAS, the School District plans to issue or has issued notes, bonds or other obligations subject to

Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), relating to arbitrage and the rebate thereof, including but not limited to federally tax-exempt obligations and/or tax-advantaged bonds and other obligations, not including this borrowing, during calendar year 2019 in the aggregate amount shown in paragraph 2 of Exhibit A; and

WHEREAS, the School District has received approval of its Qualifying Statement filed for 2018 with the

Michigan Department of Treasury (“Treasury”); and WHEREAS, the School District determines that it is in its best interest to borrow the sum of not to exceed the

amount shown in paragraph 2 of Exhibit A and issue the general obligation notes in one or more series (the “Note” or “Notes”) of the School District therefor and to authorize certain other related actions thereto.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT: 1. The School District, pursuant to Section 1225 of the Act, shall issue its Notes in one or more series in

order to borrow for the above purpose a sum not to exceed the amount shown in paragraph 3 of Exhibit A, the final amount, number of series and series designation to be determined by the officer designated in paragraph 4 of Exhibit A or his/her designee who shall be a member of the administrative staff or Board of Education of the School District (the “Authorized Officer”), prior to the sale of the Notes, or such portion thereof as may be approved by Treasury, if prior approval is necessary, and issue the general obligation Notes of the School District therefor, in anticipation of the distribution of Pledged State Aid for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020. The Notes may be issued in one or more series as determined by the Authorized Officer.

2. The Notes shall be issued in one or more series designated “State Aid Notes, Series 2019A,” or such

other name or designation as determined by the Authorized Officer at the time of the sale. The Notes of each series shall bear interest at the rate or rates payable on the date or dates determined on sale thereof, but not to exceed the maximum rate permitted by law at the time of sale, be dated as set forth in paragraph 5 of Exhibit A, or as of the date of delivery, and be due and payable on the date shown in paragraph 6 of Exhibit A. The Notes shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America at a bank or trust company in the State of Michigan qualified to act as paying agent as shall be designated by the purchaser of the Notes. The Notes shall be in denominations as determined by the Authorized Officer. The Notes shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity as specified in the Purchase Contract described below, if the Notes are sold to the Michigan Finance Authority (the “Authority”).

3. The School District hereby appropriates a sufficient amount of the Pledged State Aid to repay the

principal of and interest on the Notes. In addition, the full faith and credit of the School District is hereby irrevocably pledged for payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes and, in case of the insufficiency of the Pledged State Aid, the School District shall pay the Notes from any funds legally available therefor, and, if necessary, levy sufficient taxes on all taxable property in the School District for the payment thereof, subject to applicable constitutional and statutory tax rate limitations.

The Notes may be issued in book-entry-only form through The Depository Trust Company in New York, New

York (“DTC”), and the Authorized Officer is authorized to execute such custodial or other agreement with DTC as may be necessary to accomplish the issuance of the Notes in book-entry-only form and to make such changes in the Note form within the parameters of this resolution as may be required to accomplish the foregoing.

4. The President and Secretary of the Board of Education shall execute the Notes on behalf of the

School District by manual or facsimile signature and the executed Notes shall be delivered to the Treasurer who shall cause the Notes to be delivered to the purchaser thereof upon the receipt of the purchase price therefor. The Vice President, Treasurer or Superintendent may execute the Notes instead of either the President or Secretary. In the event the Notes are executed by the facsimile signature of the foregoing, the Notes shall be authenticated in the manner approved by the Authorized Officer. The foregoing officials are hereby authorized to execute and deliver a temporary Note or Notes and exchange, when available, final printed Note or Notes therefor at the request of the purchaser of the Notes. Any reference to an officer or employee of the School District in this resolution shall include any interim or acting officer or employee appointed by the School District.

5. Unless the Notes are issued as federally taxable, the School District hereby covenants for the benefit of all holders of the Notes to comply with all requirements of the Code, that must be satisfied subsequent to the

May 16, 2019 - Supt Scoop – Page 11

issuance of the Notes in order that the interest thereon be or continue to be excluded from gross income for federal income taxation purposes, including, but not limited to, requirements relating to the rebate of arbitrage earnings, if applicable, and the expenditure and investment of Note proceeds and moneys deemed to be Note proceeds. If appropriate, the Authorized Officer may designate the Notes as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” for purposes of deduction of interest expense by financial institutions under the Code.

6. The President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Superintendent or his/her designee and the

Authorized Officer are further authorized to execute any documents or certificates necessary to complete the transaction including, but not limited to, any certificates relating to federal or state securities, laws, rules or regulations.

7. If the timing of the sale is compatible with the timing of the pooled financing of the Authority, and the

Authority’s credit requirements are attractive to the School District as determined by the Authorized Officer, the Notes shall be sold on a negotiated basis to the Authority based upon the historical performance of the Authority’s note pool program whereby competitive interest rates and reduced costs of issuance are obtained by pooling several participating school districts in one or more series of notes. The Authorized Officer or his/her designee is further authorized to select the method of sale of the Notes to the purchaser, as shall be determined to be in the best interest of the School District and not in conflict with the limitations set forth in this resolution. The School District may sell its Notes to (a) the Authority; or (b) by competitive or negotiated sale with a financial institution based on a determination by the Authorized Officer as to which method of sale offers the most timely and cost effective solution for the School District’s cash flow needs. If the Notes are sold by competitive sale the Authorized Officer shall complete and publish a Notice of Sale in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit D to this resolution. The Authorized Officer is authorized to file any documentation necessary to issue the Notes with Treasury, including filing an application for an exemption from the rating requirement, if necessary, and is further authorized to take all other steps necessary and desirable for issuance and delivery of the Notes.

8. If the School District sells the Notes to the Authority and in the event the Authorized Officer determines

that it is in the best interest of the School District to choose to pay all or a portion of the principal of and interest on the Notes with set aside installments, the following provisions in this paragraph 8 shall apply:

A. The School District shall set aside moneys in a separate fund with the depository designated in the Purchase Contract described below (the “Depository”) to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes when due in three (3), five (5) or seven (7) consecutive monthly set-aside installments (the “Installment” or “Installments”), ending on July 20, 2020, and earlier on the 20th day of each month (or in the case of January, the 21st, and in the case of June, the 22nd), or such other state school aid payment date as may be provided for under state law (each a “Payment Date”). If a Payment Date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the Payment Date shall be the next business day. The payment to the Depository shall be made first from the Pledged State Aid received during the month of the Installment. If, for any reason, the Pledged State Aid received during the month of the Installment is insufficient to pay the Installment, then in that event the School District pledges to use any and all other available funds to meet the Installment obligation. If the School District fails to set aside all or any portion of an Installment (the “Installment Shortfall”) on the Payment Date, the Authority is authorized, pursuant to Section 17a(3) of the State Aid Act, to intercept 100% of the Pledged State Aid to be distributed to the School District beginning with the month following the School District's failure to meet the Installment obligation and all months thereafter, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Contract (the “Purchase Contract”) between the Authority and the School District. Beginning with the month following the Installment Shortfall, the Authority shall intercept 100% of the Pledged State Aid to be distributed to the School District and apply the intercepted amount on the following priority basis: (i) the Installment Shortfall; (ii) the current month's Installment; and (iii) any amounts remaining to be immediately distributed to the School District. The intercept process set forth above shall continue each month following the Installment Shortfall until sufficient funds are deposited with the Depository to pay the total principal of and interest on the Notes. Unless expressly authorized by the Authority, the maximum amount of each Installment will not exceed 50% of the amount of Pledged State Aid due to the School District in any set-aside month.

B. If the School District has failed to deposit all or a portion of an Installment by the last business day of the

month of the Installment, the Depository is authorized and directed to give written notice to the Authority, the State Treasurer and the School District on the first business day following the last business day of the month of the failure to deposit all or a portion of the Installment. Upon receipt of such written notice from the Depository, the Authority shall promptly notify the School District that it will immediately commence to intercept 100% of the Pledged State Aid.

If on the date of the final Installment as specified in Schedule I to the Purchase Contract, the funds with the Depository are insufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes when due, the School District, pursuant to Section 17a(3) of the State Aid Act to the extent necessary to meet the payment obligation, assigns to the Authority and authorizes and directs the State Treasurer to advance all or part of any state school aid payment which is dedicated for distribution or for which the appropriation authorizing the payment has been made.

D. Any Authorized Officer is further authorized to agree, if required by the Authority, to assign to the Authority

and authorize and direct the State Treasurer to intercept all or part of any state school aid payment which is dedicated for distribution or for which the appropriation authorizing the state school aid payment has been made pursuant to Section 17(a)(3) of the State Aid Act.

E. Any Authorized Officer is further authorized to determine that each Installment is a partial mandatory

redemption of a particular series of the Notes and that the last Installment is the maturity date of that series of the Notes, and such determination shall be conclusively evidenced by the Purchase Contract described below.

F. The School District authorizes and consents to the Authority entering into an investment agreement with a

financial institution for the investment of funds deposited with the Depository on behalf of the Authority and the School District.

9. If the School District sells the Notes to the Authority, the Authorized Officer is authorized to sell all or a

portion of the Notes to the Authority without an Installment payment schedule (the “No Set-Aside Notes”) pursuant to the provisions of this resolution. In that event: (A) any Authorized Officer is further authorized to agree, if required by the Authority, to assign to the Authority and authorize and direct the State Treasurer to intercept or advance all or part of any state school aid payment which is dedicated for distribution or for which the appropriation authorizing the state school aid payment has been made pursuant to Section 17a(3) of the State Aid Act; (B) the School District acknowledges that payment of the principal of and interest on certain of the No Set-Aside Notes may be secured by a direct-pay letter of credit issued for the account of the Authority and the School District by one or more providers selected by the Authority (each a “Letter of Credit”; and each issuer a “Letter of Credit Bank”); (C) it shall not be deemed a default by the School District under the provisions of the Purchase Contract or the No Set-Aside Notes if the principal of and interest on the No Set-Aside Notes shall have been paid in full when due to the Authority from proceeds of a drawing on the Letter of Credit and the drawing on the Letter of Credit is reimbursed by the School District on the designated date set forth in the reimbursement agreement relating to the Letter of Credit; and (D) the School District appoints the Authority as its agent to enter into the reimbursement agreement for and on behalf of the School District, if required by the Authority, as well as on the Authority’s own behalf, and the School District agrees to be referred to as an account party in the Letter of Credit obtained by the Authority to secure payment of the No Set-Aside Notes and any series of the Authority's State Aid Revenue Notes issued to finance the Authority's purchase of the No Set-Aside Notes.

10. If the School District sells the Notes to the Authority, the following shall apply:

A. Any Authorized Officer is hereby authorized to execute and deliver one or more Purchase Contracts with the Authority (which shall be determined by whether one or more series of Notes are issued hereunder) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B reflecting the terms and conditions of the borrowing with such additions, deletions or substitutions (including without limitation additions, deletions or substitutions required by any Letter of Credit Bank(s) or any purchaser(s) of any series of the Authority’s State Aid Revenue Notes issued by the Authority to finance its purchase of the No Set-Aside Notes), as the Authority and any Authorized Officer shall deem necessary and appropriate, including the number of set-asides, if any, and their dates and amounts, and not inconsistent with the provisions of this resolution. The choice of whether to make Installments for the Notes and/or the number, dates and amounts of Installments shall be conclusively evidenced by the Purchase Contract. The Purchase Contract shall include the School District’s agreement with respect to any Installment not received by the Depository from the School District on the respective Payment Date, to pay the Authority an amount as invoiced by the Authority to recover its administrative costs and lost investment earnings attributable to that late payment.

B. Any Authorized Officer is further authorized to approve (i) the specific interest rate(s) to be

borne by the Notes, not exceeding the maximum rate permitted by law, (ii) the purchase price of the Notes, not less than the price specified in paragraph 6 of Exhibit A, (iii) a guaranteed investment agreement or other permitted investment in accordance with state law for funds paid to the Depository, if applicable, (iv) direct payments of

Pledged State Aid to and if required by the Authority, and (v) other terms and conditions relating to the Notes and the sale thereof.

C. The form of the Notes shall contain the following language in substantially the form set forth

below as applicable, with such additions, deletions or substitutions (not inconsistent with the Purchase Contract) as the Authority and any Authorized Officer shall deem necessary and appropriate:

To the extent permitted by law, the principal of and interest on this Note which remains unpaid after this Note has matured and all other outstanding and unpaid amounts owing by the School District under the Purchase Contract shall bear interest until paid at an interest rate per annum based upon a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed equal to the “Default Rate” as described in Schedule I to the Purchase Contract.

11. If sold at a competitive or negotiated sale other than to the Authority, the Notes shall be dated on such

date, shall mature on such date, shall be issued in such principal amount with or without set aside payments, shall bear such interest rate, shall be sold at such price and be in such denominations as may be determined by the Authorized Officer of the School District, but in each case within the parameters set forth in Exhibit A to this resolution. If sold at a competitive sale, the Authorized Officer is hereby authorized to award the Notes to the bidder whose bid produces the lowest interest cost to the School District and is within the parameters set forth in Exhibit A to this resolution. If sold at a negotiated sale, the Authorized Officer is authorized to enter into an agreement on behalf of the School District with a financial institution for such sale within the parameters of Exhibit A to this resolution, and, if such officer determines it to be in the interest of the School District, the Authorized Officer is authorized to enter into agreements providing for a credit enhancement as security for payment of the Notes.

12. Each series of Notes issued hereunder shall be of equal standing as to the Pledged State Aid. The

School District reserves the right to issue additional notes or other obligations of equal standing with the Notes as to the Pledged State Aid. If the Notes are sold to the Authority, prior written consent of an authorized officer of the Authority is required to issue additional notes or obligations of equal standing with the Notes as to the Pledged State Aid. The School District further resolves that the amount payable as to principal and interest on the Notes plus the amount payable as to principal and interest on or prior to the maturity date of the Notes on any additional notes or other obligations of equal standing with the Notes as to payment from Pledged State Aid will not exceed 75% of the amount of Pledged State Aid.

13. The representation of the School District by Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone, P.L.C. as note

counsel is hereby approved, notwithstanding Miller, Canfield’s periodic representation of the Authority and other potential parties to the transaction in unrelated matters. The School District retains Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone, P.L.C. to perform an arbitrage rebate analysis and prepare a rebate return for the Notes, if necessary. 14. Within fifteen (15) business days after issuance of the Notes, the Board hereby authorizes and directs the Authorized Officer to cause to be filed with Treasury any and all documentation required to be filed subsequent to the issuance of the Notes, along with any statutorily required fee. 15. All resolutions and parts of resolutions insofar as they conflict with the provisions of this resolution be and the same hereby are rescinded.
