Financial and personnel matters were among the agenda items handled during Thursday night’s meeting of the Vantage Career Center Board of Education.
Board members agreed to issue nearly $9.3 million in school improvement refunding bonds, which should save Vantage a substantial amount of money.
“Currently we’re looking at saving our taxpayers approximately $983,000,” Treasurer Laura Peters said. “Basically we’re expecting to have a 10 percent savings by refunding these and refinancing them. Usually you look at refunding them when it’s three percent but we’re saving a lot more for our taxpayers.”
