4 Harvey County Special Education Cooperative Newton USD 373 Halstead USD 440 Hesston USD 460 Mitchell Neuenschwander, Director
Report to USD 373 Board May 7, 2013
The FY2011 Level of Determination report issued by KSDE indicates that all Harvey County Special Education Cooperative (HCSEC) districts (Newton 373, Halstead 440, Hesston 460) “Meets Requirements”. The detailed report is available by request and will be shared with the Cooperative superintendents and Cooperative board representatives. This level of determination allows the Cooperative to receive the $3,000 Leadership Stipend and will also allow the Cooperative to submit the shortened version of the Targeted Improvement Plan (TIP) Grant.
The TIP Grant in the amount of $40,845 is due June 1, 2013. Funds will be used for a portion of our transition coordinator’s salary, staff development targeting the Dynamic Learning Maps development (formerly known as alternate assessments) technology, and contractual. The contractual portion of the grant will serve the building principals in developing positive behavior supports. The targeted clusters are secondary transition, early childhood and achievement.
The Cooperative has received a number of resignations during the past month. Current vacancies are; school social worker, occupational therapist, Santa Fe ED and Hesston Middle School resource room. A special education teacher transfer from Hesston Middle School to Halstead High School has been approved. We will not be replacing the resignation received from Northridge. Building principals and I have been interviewing applicants.
A HCSEC student will begin receiving educational services at Heartspring on May 8, 2013. Behaviors will be closely monitored to determine when the student can return to the Newton classroom.
Title VI B funding will not be impacted by the sequestration. Kansas is receiving approximately 3.2% less than the previous year. KSDE has made provisions to absorb the sequestration’s impact on the FY2013 Title VI B grant at the state level. This means that there will be no reduction to special education. The amounts received by the Cooperative may change slightly due to enrollment shifts. The Cooperative received $1,034,800 for 2012-2013.

1d. Approval of Additional Vocational Cooperating Agreements with Area School Districts
For twenty years the Newton School District has entered into cooperating agreements with area school districts to provide vocational education opportunities for central Kansas students. The cooperating agreement was necessitated by the consolidation of the Central Kansas Area Vocational Technical School with Hutchinson Community College and the 1992 school finance law. In order for the Newton School District to continue to provide vocational programs for area students and for area districts to receive weighted funding for those students, USD 373 is required to enter into a cooperating agreement with partner districts. The current agreement is for five years (the maximum allowed by law) and expires at the end of the current fiscal year.
The board previously approved agreements with several area districts, but since that time an agreement has been received from Peabody-Burns USD 398 and we expect to receive a final agreement from Sedgwick USD 439. The agreement extends the current fee structure which is based on the funding the Newton district would receive for a student in an approved program. For the current year the charge was $1,348 per student per year for 90 minutes per day or $2,696 for 3 hours per day; fee structure is reviewed and revised annually.
Administrative Recommendation
The administration recommends that the board approve the vocational cooperating agreements with the Peabody-Burns and Sedgwick school districts as presented.

1 e. Ratify the Agreement with the Kansas School Food Purchasing Coop
The district originally entered into agreement with the Kansas School Food Purchasing Coop for the 2012-13 school year. Using the combined purchasing power of several school districts serves as a valuable tool in efficient buying practices for Food Service programs. The proposed agreement runs from August 1, 2013 through July 31, 2014, and includes consortium dues of $250 per year.
Administrative Recommendation
The administration recommends that the board ratify the cooperative purchasing agreement with the Kansas School Food Purchasing Coop as presented

21 Federal Requirements for Cooperative Purchasing Agreement
This AGREEMENT, dated May 13, 2013, between the governing boards of Newton Public Schools, USD 373, herein referred to as SPONSOR and KSFSA, herein referred to as COOPERATIVE, specifies requirements for procurement of food and nonfood items by the COOPERATIVE for use in the SPONSOR’s Child Nutrition Program.
Both parties mutually understand and agree that the COOPERATIVE will comply with the following requirements:
1. Adhere to procurement standards that reflect applicable State and local laws and regulations, provided that the procurements conform to applicable Federal law and the standards identified in this Agreement.
2. Maintain a contract administration system that ensures contractors perform in accordance with the terms, conditions, and specifications of their contracts or purchase orders.
3. Maintain a written code of standards of conduct governing the performance of their employees engaged in the award and administration of contracts. No employee, officer or agent of the COOPERATIVE shall participate in selection, or in the award or administration of a contract supported by Federal funds if a conflict of interest, real or apparent, would be involved. Such a conflict would arise when any of the following has a financial or other interest in the firm selected for the award: a. The employee, officer or agent, b. Any member of his immediate family, c. His or her partner, or d. An organization which employs, or is about to employ, any of the above.
4. Officers, employees or agents of COOPERATIVE will neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors or anything of monetary value from contractors, potential contractors, or parties to COOPERATIVE. Rules may be set where the financial interest is not substantial or the gift is an unsolicited item of nominal intrinsic value. To the extent permitted by State or local law or regulations, such standards of conduct will provide for penalties, sanctions, or other disciplinary actions for violations of such standards by the COOPERATIVE officers, employees, or agents, or by contractors or their agents.
5. Make awards only to responsible contractors possessing the ability to perform successfully under the terms and conditions of a proposed procurement. Consideration will be given to such matters as contractor integrity, compliance with public policy, record of past performance, and financial and technical resources.
6. Maintain records sufficient to detail the significant history of each procurement. These records will include, but are not necessarily limited to the following: rationale for the method of procurement, selection of contract type, contractor selection or rejection, and the basis for the contract price.
7. Assume responsibility, in accordance with good administrative practice and sound business judgment, for the settlement of all contractual and administrative issues arising out of
22 procurements. These issues include, but are not limited to source evaluation, protests, disputes, and claims.
8. Conduct all procurement transactions in a manner providing full and open competition consistent with the standards of 7CFR 3016.36. Some of the situations considered to be restrictive of competition include but are not limited to: a. Placing unreasonable requirements on firms in order for them to qualify to do business, b. Requiring unnecessary experience and excessive bonding, c. Noncompetitive pricing practices between firms or between affiliated companies, d. Noncompetitive awards to consultants that are on retainer contracts, e. Organizational conflicts of interest, f. Specifying only a 'brand name' product instead of allowing 'an equal' product to be offered and describing the performance of other relevant requirements of the procurement, and g. Any arbitrary action in the procurement process.
10. Conduct procurements in a manner that prohibits the use of statutorily or administratively imposed in-State or local geographical preferences in the evaluation of bids or proposals, except in those cases where applicable Federal statutes expressly mandate or encourage geographic preference.
11. Follow written selection procedures for procurement transactions. These procedures will ensure that all solicitations: a. Incorporate a clear and accurate description of the specifications for the food and non- food items to be procured. Such description shall not, in competitive procurements, contain features that unduly restrict competition. b. Identify all requirements which the offerors must fulfill and all other factors to be used in evaluating bids or proposals.
12. Ensure that all pre-qualified lists of vendors that are used in acquiring goods are current and include enough qualified sources to ensure maximum open and free competition. Also, COOPERATIVE will not preclude potential bidders from qualifying during the solicitation period.
13. Use the sealed bid method of procurement. Bids shall be publicly solicited and a firm-fixed- price contract by unit price shall be awarded to the responsible bidder whose bid, conforming with all the material terms and conditions of the invitation for bids, is the lowest in price. The following requirements shall be followed: a. The invitation for bids, which will include any specifications and pertinent attachments, shall define the items in order for the bidder to properly respond; b. All bids will be publicly opened at the time and place prescribed in the invitation for bids; c. A firm fixed-price contract award will be made in writing to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. d. Any or all bids may be rejected if there is a sound documented reason.
14. The cost plus a percentage of cost method of contracting shall NOT be used except for milk.
15. In the event either party commits a material breach, the breaching party may terminate this agreement for cause by giving sixty (30) days written notice. If the breach is remedied prior to the proposed termination date, the non-breaching party may elect to continue this agreement.
23
16. Notwithstanding the breaching provision above, the SPONSOR may terminate this contract for breach/neglect as determined by the SPONSOR with written notification to COOPERATIVE, when considering such items as failure to maintain and enforce required standards of sanitation, failure to maintain proper insurance coverage as outlined by contract, failure to provide required periodic information/statements, or failure to maintain quality of service at a level satisfactory to the SPONSOR.
17. Adhere to the following contract provisions which are required under CFR 3016: a. Compliance with the Copeland 'Anti-Kickback' Act (18 U.S.C. 874) as supplemented in Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 3). (All contracts and subgrants for construction or repair) b. All such records shall be kept on file for five (5) years after the end of the Federal fiscal year to which they pertain, or for such other period which the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture or appropriate State officials may from time to time determine; provided however, that if audit findings have not been resolved, the records shall be retained beyond the five (5) year period as long as required for the resolution of the issues raised by the audit. This Agreement shall be construed under the laws of the State of Kansas. Any action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement shall be brought in the appropriate courts of the State of Kansas.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date and year first written above.

Each of the Bonds, as originally issued or issued upon transfer, exchange or substitution, shall be printed in accordance with the format required by the Attorney General of the State and shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A or as may be required by the Attorney General pursuant to the Notice of Systems of Registration for Kansas Municipal Bonds, 2 Kan. Reg. 921 (1983), in accordance with the Kansas Bond Registration Law, K.S.A. 10-620 et seq.
Section 203. Designation of Paying Agent and Bond Registrar. The State Treasurer is hereby designated as the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds and Bond Registrar with respect to the registration, transfer and exchange of Bonds. The President of the Issuer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute on behalf of the Issuer an agreement with the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent for the Bonds.
The Issuer will at all times maintain a Paying Agent and Bond Registrar meeting the qualifications herein described for the performance of the duties hereunder. The Issuer reserves the right to appoint a successor Paying Agent or Bond Registrar by (a) filing with the Paying Agent or Bond Registrar then performing such function a certified copy of the proceedings giving notice of the termination of such Paying Agent or Bond Registrar and appointing a successor, and (b) causing notice of appointment of the successor Paying Agent and Bond Registrar to be given by first class mail to each Owner.

Every Paying Agent or Bond Registrar appointed hereunder shall at all times meet the requirements of K.S.A. 10-501 et seq. and K.S.A. 10-620 et seq., respectively.
Section 204. Method and Place of Payment of the Bonds. The principal of, or Redemption Price, and interest on the Bonds shall be payable in any coin or currency which, on the respective dates of payment thereof, is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
The principal or Redemption Price of each Bond shall be paid at Maturity to the Person in whose name such Bond is registered on the Bond Register at the Maturity thereof, upon presentation and surrender of such Bond at the principal office of the Paying Agent.
The interest payable on each Bond on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Owner of such Bond as shown on the Bond Register at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest (a) by check or draft mailed by the Paying Agent to the address of such Owner shown on the Bond Register or at such other address as is furnished to the Paying Agent in writing by such Owner; or (b) in the case of an interest payment to Cede & Co. or any Owner of $500,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Bonds, by electronic transfer to such Owner upon written notice given to the Bond Registrar by such Owner, not less than 15 days prior to the Record Date for such interest, containing the electronic transfer instructions including the bank ABA routing number and account number to which such Owner wishes to have such transfer directed.
106 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, any Defaulted Interest with respect to any Bond shall cease to be payable to the Owner of such Bond on the relevant Record Date and shall be payable to the Owner in whose name such Bond is registered at the close of business on the Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which Special Record Date shall be fixed as hereinafter specified in this paragraph. The Issuer shall notify the Paying Agent in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Bond and the date of the proposed payment (which date shall be at least 30 days after receipt of such notice by the Paying Agent) and shall deposit with the Paying Agent at the time of such notice an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Paying Agent for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment. Following receipt of such funds the Paying Agent shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment. The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Issuer of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefore to be mailed, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Owner of a Bond entitled to such notice at the address of such Owner as it appears on the Bond Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date.
The Paying Agent shall keep a record of payment of principal and Redemption Price of and interest on all Bonds and at least annually shall forward a copy or summary of such records to the Issuer.
Section 205. Payments Due on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. In any case where a Bond Payment Date is not a Business Day, then payment of principal, Redemption Price or interest need not be made on such Bond Payment Date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Bond Payment Date, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such Bond Payment Date.
Section 206. Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Bonds. The Issuer covenants that, as long as any of the Bonds remain Outstanding, it will cause the Bond Register to be kept at the office of the Bond Registrar as herein provided. Each Bond when issued shall be registered in the name of the Owner thereof on the Bond Register.
Bonds may be transferred and exchanged only on the Bond Register as provided in this Section. Upon surrender of any Bond at the principal office of the Bond Registrar, the Bond Registrar shall transfer or exchange such Bond for a new Bond or Bonds in any Authorized Denomination of the same Stated Maturity and in the same aggregate principal amount as the Bond that was presented for transfer or exchange.
Bonds presented for transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer or authorization for exchange, in a form and with guarantee of signature satisfactory to the Bond Registrar, duly executed by the Owner thereof or by the Owner's duly authorized agent.
In all cases in which the privilege of transferring or exchanging Bonds is exercised, the Bond Registrar shall authenticate and deliver Bonds in accordance with the provisions of this Bond Resolution. The Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of the Bond Registrar for the registration, transfer and exchange of Bonds provided for by this Bond Resolution and the cost of printing a reasonable supply of registered bond blanks. Any additional costs or fees that might be incurred in the secondary market, other than fees of the Bond Registrar, are the responsibility of the Owners of the Bonds. In the event any Owner fails to provide a correct taxpayer identification number to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent may make a charge against such Owner sufficient to pay any governmental charge required to be paid as a
107 result of such failure. In compliance with Code § 3406, such amount may be deducted by the Paying Agent from amounts otherwise payable to such Owner hereunder or under the Bonds.
The Issuer and the Bond Registrar shall not be required (a) to register the transfer or exchange of any Bond that has been called for redemption after notice of such redemption has been mailed by the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 303 hereof and during the period of 15 days next preceding the date of mailing of such notice of redemption; or (b) to register the transfer or exchange of any Bond during a period beginning at the opening of business on the day after receiving written notice from the Issuer of its intent to pay Defaulted Interest and ending at the close of business on the date fixed for the payment of Defaulted Interest pursuant to Section 204 hereof.
The Issuer and the Paying Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Bond is registered on the Bond Register as the absolute Owner of such Bond, whether such Bond is overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal or Redemption Price of and interest on said Bond and for all other purposes. All payments so made to any such Owner or upon the Owner's order shall be valid and effective to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, and neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
At reasonable times and under reasonable regulations established by the Bond Registrar, the Bond Register may be inspected and copied by the Owners (or a designated representative thereof) of 10% or more in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding or any designated representative of such Owners whose authority is evidenced to the satisfaction of the Bond Registrar.
Section 207. Execution, Registration, Authentication and Delivery of Bonds. Each of the Bonds, including any Bonds issued in exchange or as substitutions for the Bonds initially delivered, shall be executed for and on behalf of the Issuer by the manual or facsimile signature of the President, countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of the Treasurer, attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the Clerk, and the seal of the Issuer shall be affixed thereto or imprinted thereon. The President and Clerk are hereby authorized and directed to prepare and execute the Bonds in the manner herein specified, and to cause the Bonds to be registered in the office of the Clerk, which registration shall be evidenced by the manual or facsimile signature of the Clerk with the seal of the Issuer affixed thereto or imprinted thereon. The Bonds shall also be registered in the office of the State Treasurer, which registration shall be evidenced by the manual or facsimile signature of the State Treasurer with the seal of the State Treasurer affixed thereto or imprinted thereon. In case any officer whose signature appears on any Bonds ceases to be such officer before the delivery of such Bonds, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, as if such person had remained in office until delivery. Any Bond may be signed by such persons who at the actual time of the execution of such Bond are the proper officers to sign such Bond although at the date of such Bond such persons may not have been such officers.
The President and Clerk are hereby authorized and directed to prepare and execute the Bonds as herein specified, and when duly executed, to deliver the Bonds to the Bond Registrar for authentication.
The Bonds shall have endorsed thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A hereof, which shall be manually executed by an authorized officer or employee of the Bond Registrar, but it shall not be necessary that the same officer or employee sign the certificate of authentication on all of the Bonds that may be issued hereunder at any one time. No Bond shall be entitled to any security or benefit under this Bond Resolution or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless and until such certificate of authentication has been duly executed by the Bond Registrar. Such executed certificate of authentication upon any Bond shall be conclusive evidence that such Bond
108 has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Bond Resolution. Upon authentication, the Bond Registrar shall deliver the Bonds to the Purchaser upon instructions of the Issuer or its representative.
Section 208. Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. If (a) any mutilated Bond is surrendered to the Bond Registrar or the Bond Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Bond, and (b) there is delivered to the Issuer and the Bond Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by each of them, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Bond Registrar that such Bond has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and, upon the Issuer's request, the Bond Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond, a new Bond of the same Stated Maturity and of like tenor and principal amount.
If any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer, in its discretion, may pay such Bond instead of issuing a new Bond.
Upon the issuance of any new Bond under this Section, the Issuer and the Paying Agent may require the payment by the Owner of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Paying Agent) connected therewith.
Every new Bond issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute a replacement of the prior obligation of the Issuer, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Bond Resolution equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Bonds.
Section 209. Cancellation and Destruction of Bonds Upon Payment. All Bonds that have been paid or redeemed or that otherwise have been surrendered to the Paying Agent, either at or before Maturity, shall be cancelled by the Paying Agent immediately upon the payment, redemption and surrender thereof to the Paying Agent and subsequently destroyed in accordance with the customary practices of the Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall execute a certificate in duplicate describing the Bonds so cancelled and destroyed and shall file an executed counterpart of such certificate with the Issuer.
Section 210. Book-Entry Bonds; Securities Depository. The Issuer and Paying Agent have entered into a DTC Representation Letter with DTC. The Bonds shall initially be registered to Cede & Co., the nominee for the Securities Depository, and no Beneficial Owner will receive certificates representing their respective interests in the Bonds, except in the event the Bond Registrar issues Replacement Bonds as provided in this Section. It is anticipated that during the term of the Bonds, the Securities Depository will make book-entry transfers among its Participants and receive and transmit payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds to the Participants until and unless the Bond Registrar authenticates and delivers Replacement Bonds to the Beneficial Owners as described in the following paragraph.
The Issuer may decide, subject to the requirements of the Operational Arrangements of DTC (or a successor Securities Depository), and the following provisions of this section to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor Securities Depository):
(a) If the Issuer determines (1) that the Securities Depository is unable to properly discharge its responsibilities, or (2) that the Securities Depository is no longer qualified to act as a securities depository and registered clearing agency under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (3) that the continuation of a book-entry system to the exclusion of any Bonds being issued to any Owner other than Cede & Co. is no longer in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; or
109 (b) if the Bond Registrar receives written notice from Participants having interests in not less than 50% of the Bonds Outstanding, as shown on the records of the Securities Depository (and certified to such effect by the Securities Depository), that the continuation of a book-entry system to the exclusion of any Bonds being issued to any Owner other than Cede & Co. is no longer in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds, then the Bond Registrar shall notify the Owners of such determination or such notice and of the availability of certificates to Owners requesting the same, and the Bond Registrar shall register in the name of and authenticate and deliver Replacement Bonds to the Beneficial Owners or their nominees in principal amounts representing the interest of each, making such adjustments as it may find necessary or appropriate as to accrued interest and previous calls for redemption; provided, that in the case of a determination under (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this paragraph, the Issuer, with the consent of the Bond Registrar, may select a successor securities depository in accordance with the following paragraph to effect book-entry transfers.
In such event, all references to the Securities Depository herein shall relate to the period of time when the Securities Depository has possession of at least one Bond. Upon the issuance of Replacement Bonds, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Securities Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Bond Registrar, to the extent applicable with respect to such Replacement Bonds. If the Securities Depository resigns and the Issuer, the Bond Registrar or Owners are unable to locate a qualified successor of the Securities Depository in accordance with the following paragraph, then the Bond Registrar shall authenticate and cause delivery of Replacement Bonds to Owners, as provided herein. The Bond Registrar may rely on information from the Securities Depository and its Participants as to the names of the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds. The cost of printing, registration, authentication, and delivery of Replacement Bonds shall be paid for by the Issuer.
In the event the Securities Depository resigns, is unable to properly discharge its responsibilities, or is no longer qualified to act as a securities depository and registered clearing agency under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Issuer may appoint a successor Securities Depository provided the Bond Registrar receives written evidence satisfactory to the Bond Registrar with respect to the ability of the successor Securities Depository to discharge its responsibilities. Any such successor Securities Depository shall be a securities depository which is a registered clearing agency under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation that operates a securities depository upon reasonable and customary terms. The Bond Registrar upon its receipt of a Bond or Bonds for cancellation shall cause the delivery of Bonds to the successor Securities Depository in an Authorized Denominations and form as provided herein.
Section 211. Nonpresentment of Bonds. If any Bond is not presented for payment when the principal thereof becomes due at Maturity, if funds sufficient to pay such Bond have been made available to the Paying Agent all liability of the Issuer to the Owner thereof for the payment of such Bond shall forthwith cease, determine and be completely discharged, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the Paying Agent to hold such funds, without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit of the Owner of such Bond, who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any claim of whatever nature on his part under this Bond Resolution or on, or with respect to, said Bond. If any Bond is not presented for payment within four (4) years following the date when such Bond becomes due at Maturity, the Paying Agent shall repay, without liability for interest thereon, to the Issuer the funds theretofore held by it for payment of such Bond, and such Bond shall, subject to the defense of any applicable statute of limitation, thereafter be an unsecured obligation of the Issuer, and the Owner thereof shall be entitled to look only to the Issuer for payment, and then only to the extent of the amount so repaid to it by the Paying Agent, and the Issuer shall not be liable for any interest thereon and shall not be regarded as a trustee of such money.
110 Section 212. Preliminary and Final Official Statement. The Preliminary Official Statement dated April 8, 2013, is hereby ratified and approved.

ARTICLE III
REDEMPTION OF BONDS
Section 301. Redemption by Issuer.
Optional Redemption. At the option of the Issuer, Bonds maturing on September 1 in the years 2023, and thereafter, will be subject to redemption and payment prior to their Stated Maturity on September 1, 2022, and thereafter, as a whole or in part (selection of maturities and the amount of Bonds of each maturity to be redeemed to be determined by the Issuer in such equitable manner as it may determine) at any time, at the Redemption Price of 100% (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount), plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date.
Section 302. Selection of Bonds to be Redeemed. Bonds shall be redeemed only in an Authorized Denomination. When less than all of the Bonds are to be redeemed and paid prior to their Stated Maturity, such Bonds shall be redeemed in such manner as the Issuer shall determine. Bonds of less than a full Stated Maturity shall be selected by the Bond Registrar in a minimum Authorized Denomination of principal amount in such equitable manner as the Bond Registrar may determine.
111 In the case of a partial redemption of Bonds by lot when Bonds of denominations greater than a minimum Authorized Denomination are then Outstanding, then for all purposes in connection with such redemption a minimum Authorized Denomination of face value shall be treated as though it were a separate Bond of the denomination of a minimum Authorized Denomination. If it is determined that one or more, but not all, of a minimum Authorized Denomination of face value represented by any Bond is selected for redemption, then upon notice of intention to redeem a minimum Authorized Denomination, the Owner or the Owner’s duly authorized agent shall forthwith present and surrender such Bond to the Bond Registrar: (1) for payment of the Redemption Price and interest to the Redemption Date of a minimum Authorized Denomination of face value called for redemption, and (2) for exchange, without charge to the Owner thereof, for a new Bond or Bonds of the aggregate principal amount of the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of such Bond. If the Owner of any such Bond fails to present such Bond to the Paying Agent for payment and exchange as aforesaid, such Bond shall, nevertheless, become due and payable on the redemption date to the extent of a minimum Authorized Denomination of face value called for redemption (and to that extent only).
Section 303. Notice and Effect of Call for Redemption. In the event the Issuer desires to call the Bonds for redemption prior to maturity, written notice of such intent shall be provided to the Bond Registrar in accordance with K.S.A. 10-129, as amended, not less than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date. The Bond Registrar shall call Bonds for redemption and payment and shall give notice of such redemption as herein provided upon receipt by the Bond Registrar at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date of written instructions of the Issuer specifying the principal amount, Stated Maturities, Redemption Date and Redemption Prices of the Bonds to be called for redemption.
Unless waived by any Owner of Bonds to be redeemed, if the Issuer shall call any Bonds for redemption and payment prior to the Stated Maturity thereof, the Issuer shall give written notice of its intention to call and pay said Bonds to the Bond Registrar and the Purchaser. In addition, the Issuer shall cause the Bond Registrar to give written notice of redemption to the Owners of said Bonds. Each of said written notices shall be deposited in the United States first class mail not less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date.
All official notices of redemption shall be dated and shall contain the following information:
(a) the Redemption Date;
(b) the Redemption Price;
(c) if less than all Outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any Bonds, the respective principal amounts) of the Bonds to be redeemed;
(d) a statement that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Bond or portion thereof called for redemption and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after the Redemption Date; and
(e) the place where such Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, which shall be the principal office of the Paying Agent.
The failure of any Owner to receive notice given as heretofore provided or an immaterial defect therein shall not invalidate any redemption.
112 Prior to any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Bonds or portions of Bonds that are to be redeemed on such Redemption Date.
For so long as the Securities Depository is effecting book-entry transfers of the Bonds, the Bond Registrar shall provide the notices specified in this Section to the Securities Depository. It is expected that the Securities Depository shall, in turn, notify its Participants and that the Participants, in turn, will notify or cause to be notified the Beneficial Owners. Any failure on the part of the Securities Depository or a Participant, or failure on the part of a nominee of a Beneficial Owner of a Bond (having been mailed notice from the Bond Registrar, the Securities Depository, a Participant or otherwise) to notify the Beneficial Owner of the Bond so affected, shall not affect the validity of the redemption of such Bond.
Official notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Bonds or portions of Bonds to be redeemed shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date, at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Bonds or portion of Bonds shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of such Bonds for redemption in accordance with such notice, the Redemption Price of such Bonds shall be paid by the Paying Agent. Installments of interest due on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable as herein provided for payment of interest. Upon surrender for any partial redemption of any Bond, there shall be prepared for the Owner a new Bond or Bonds of the same Stated Maturity in the amount of the unpaid principal as provided herein. All Bonds that have been surrendered for redemption shall be cancelled and destroyed by the Paying Agent as provided herein and shall not be reissued.
In addition to the foregoing notice, the Issuer shall provide such notices of redemption as are required by the Disclosure Undertaking. Further notice may be given by the Issuer or the Bond Registrar on behalf of the Issuer as set out below, but no defect in said further notice nor any failure to give all or any portion of such further notice shall in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for redemption if official notice thereof is given as above prescribed:
(a) Each further notice of redemption given hereunder shall contain the information required above for an official notice of redemption plus (1) the CUSIP numbers of all Bonds being redeemed; (2) the date of issue of the Bonds as originally issued; (3) the rate of interest borne by each Bond being redeemed; (4) the maturity date of each Bond being redeemed; and (5) any other descriptive information needed to identify accurately the Bonds being redeemed.
(b) Each further notice of redemption shall be sent at least one day before the mailing of notice to Owners by first class, registered or certified mail or overnight delivery, as determined by the Bond Registrar, to all registered securities depositories then in the business of holding substantial amounts of obligations of types comprising the Bonds and to one or more national information services that disseminate notices of redemption of obligations such as the Bonds.
(c) Each check or other transfer of funds issued for the payment of the Redemption Price of Bonds being redeemed shall bear or have enclosed the CUSIP number of the Bonds being redeemed with the proceeds of such check or other transfer.
The Paying Agent is also directed to comply with any mandatory standards then in effect for processing redemptions of municipal securities established by the State or the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Redemption Denominations. Whenever the Bond Registrar is to select Bonds for the purpose of redemption, it shall, in the case of Bonds in denominations greater than a minimum Authorized Denomination, if less than all of the Bonds then Outstanding are to be called for redemption, treat each minimum Authorized Denomination of face value of each such Bond as though it were a separate Bond in the denomination of a minimum Authorized Denomination.

The Issuer shall cause the Bond Registrar to notify each Registered Owner at the address maintained on the Bond Register, such notice to be given by mailing an official notice of redemption by first class mail at least 30 days prior to the redemption date.

BOND PURCHASE AGREEMENT
On the basis of the representations, warranties and covenants and upon the terms and conditions contained in this Bond Purchase Agreement, George K. Baum & Company, Wichita, Kansas (the “Purchaser”), hereby offers to purchase all (but not less than all) of the above-described bonds (the “Bonds”) to be issued by Unified School District No. 373, Harvey County, Kansas (Newton) (the “Issuer”), under and pursuant to a Resolution to be adopted by the governing body of the Issuer on May 13, 2013 (the “Bond Resolution”). All capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the same meaning as defined in the Bond Resolution, unless some other meaning is plainly indicated.
This offer is made subject to acceptance of this Bond Purchase Agreement by or on behalf of the governing body of the Issuer on or before 5:00 p.m., applicable Central time, on this date (the “Sale Date”).
SECTION 1. PURCHASE, SALE AND DELIVERY OF THE BONDS
(a) On the basis of the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein and in the other agreements and documents referred to herein, and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Issuer and the Issuer agrees to sell to the Purchaser the Bonds not later than 12:00 Noon, applicable Central time on June 5, 2013, or such other place, time or date as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Issuer and the Purchaser, at the purchase price set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, plus accrued interest from the Dated Date to the Closing Date (the “Purchase Price”). The date of such delivery and payment is herein called the “Closing Date,” the hour and date of such delivery and payment is herein called the “Closing Time” and the transactions to be accomplished for delivery of the Bonds on the Closing Date shall be herein called the “Closing.” The Bonds shall be issued under and secured as provided in the Bond Resolution and the Bonds shall have the maturities and interest rates as set forth therein and on Exhibit A attached hereto, which also contains a summary of the redemption provisions of the Bonds. The Bonds shall contain such other provisions as are described in the Bond Resolution and the Official Statement (as hereinafter defined).
(b) The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that: (1) the purchase and sale of the Bonds pursuant to this Bond Purchase Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Issuer and the Purchaser; (2) in connection with such transaction, the Purchaser is acting solely as a principal and not as an agent or a fiduciary of the Issuer; (3) the Purchaser has not assumed (individually or collectively) a fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Issuer with respect to the offering of the Bonds or the process leading thereto (whether or not the Purchaser, or any affiliate of the Purchaser, has advised or is currently advising the Issuer on other matters) or any other obligation to the Issuer except with respect to the obligations expressly set forth in this Bond Purchase Agreement; and (4) the Issuer has consulted
131 with its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate in connection with the offering of the Bonds.
(c) Payment of the Purchase Price for the Bonds shall be made by federal wire transfer in immediately available federal funds, payable to the order of the Escrow Agent for the account of the Issuer on or before the Closing Time on the Closing Date. Upon such payment, the Bonds shall be delivered and released upon the instructions of the Purchaser to The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”).
(d) The delivery of the Bonds shall be made in “book-entry-only” fully registered form duly executed and authenticated and bearing CUSIP numbers (provided neither the printing of a wrong CUSIP number on any Bond nor the failure to print a number thereon shall constitute cause to refuse delivery of any Bond); provided, however, that the Bonds may be delivered in temporary form. The Bonds shall be available at DTC at least 24 hours prior to the Closing Time.
(e) The Purchaser agrees to offer the Bonds to the public initially at the offering prices or yields set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, but may subsequently change such offering price. The Purchaser agrees to notify the Issuer of such changes, if such changes occur prior to the Closing Time, but failure so to notify shall not invalidate such changes. The Purchaser may offer and sell the Bonds to certain dealers (including dealers depositing Bonds into investment trusts) at prices lower than the offering prices set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.
(f) On or prior to the Closing Time, the Purchaser will execute and deliver to the Issuer a written certification (the “Issue Price Certificate”) containing substantially the following: (a) all of the Bonds have been the subject of a bona fide initial offering to the public (excluding bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters or wholesalers) (the “Public”); (b) on the Sale Date, the Purchaser reasonably expected that the fair market value of the Bonds was equal to the respective price for each maturity of the Bonds set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, plus accrued interest (the “Offering Prices”); and (c) as of the Sale Date, the first prices at which the Purchaser reasonably expected that at least 10 percent of the principal amount of each such maturity of the Bonds would be sold to the Public are such Offering Prices and the Purchaser had no reason to believe that any of the Bonds would be sold at prices greater, or yields less, than such Offering Prices.
(g) At the request of the Issuer, the Purchaser will provide information explaining the factual basis for the Purchaser’s Issue Price Certificate. This agreement by the Purchaser to provide such information will continue to apply after the Closing Time if: (1) the Issuer requests the information in connection with an audit or inquiry by: (A) the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), or (B) the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), whether pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) or otherwise; or (2) the information is required to be retained by the Issuer pursuant to future regulation or similar guidance from the IRS, the SEC or other federal or state regulatory authority.
SECTION 2. OFFICIAL STATEMENT
(a) The Issuer has previously furnished to the Purchaser the Preliminary Official Statement, dated April 8, 2013, relating to the Bonds, including all appendices thereto and maps and pictorial information included therein, as may have been amended or supplemented (the “Preliminary Official Statement”). For the purpose of enabling the Purchaser to comply with the requirements of Rule 15c2-12 of the SEC (the “Rule”), promulgated under the 1934 Act, the Issuer has heretofore deemed the Preliminary Official Statement “final” as of its date, except for the omission of such information as is permitted by such Rule, such as offering prices, interest rates, selling compensation, aggregate principal
132 amount, principal amount per maturity, delivery dates, ratings, identity of the underwriters and other terms of the Bonds depending on such matters. The Issuer hereby ratifies and confirms the Purchaser's use and public distribution of the Preliminary Official Statement in connection with the offering for sale of the Bonds.
(b) The Issuer will cause the Preliminary Official Statement to be amended and supplemented into a final official statement to be dated the Sale Date (the “Official Statement”). The Issuer agrees to provide to the Purchaser within seven business days of the Sale Date or within sufficient time to accompany any confirmation that requests payment from any customer of the Purchaser, whichever is earlier, sufficient copies of the Official Statement to enable the Purchaser to comply with the requirements of the Rule and with the requirements of Rule G-32 of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the “MSRB”). The Issuer hereby confirms the authority of the Purchaser to use, and consents to the use of, the Official Statement in connection with the public offering and sale of the Bonds.
(c) The Preliminary Official Statement and Official Statement may be delivered in printed and/or electronic form to the extent permitted by the applicable rules of the MSRB and as may be agreed to by the Issuer and the Purchaser.
(d) If, prior to the earlier of: (1) 90 days after the “end of the underwriting period” (as defined in the Rule); or (2) the time when the Official Statement is available to any person from a nationally recognized municipal securities information repository, but in no case earlier than 25 days after the end of the underwriting period, any event shall occur relating to or affecting the Issuer, as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Official Statement in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Official Statement is delivered to a purchaser, not materially misleading, or the Official Statement is required to be amended or supplemented to comply with law, the Issuer shall promptly prepare and furnish, at the expense of the Issuer, to the Purchaser and to the dealers (whose names and addresses the Purchaser will furnish to the Issuer) to which Bonds may have been sold by the Purchaser and to any other dealers upon request, such amendments or supplements to the Official Statement as may be necessary so that the statements in the Official Statement as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Official Statement is delivered to a purchaser of the Bonds, be misleading or so that the Official Statement will comply with law.
(e) From the Sale Date until the Closing Time, the Issuer shall furnish the Purchaser with a copy of any proposed amendment or supplement to the Official Statement for review and shall not use any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Purchaser reasonably objects.
(f) The Issuer authorizes the Purchaser to file, to the extent required by applicable SEC or MSRB rule, and the Purchaser agrees to file or cause to be filed, the Official Statement with: (1) the MSRB or its designee (including the MSRB’s Electronic Municipal Market Access system); or (2) other repositories approved from time to time by the SEC (either in addition to or in lieu of the filings referred to above). If an amended Official Statement is prepared in accordance with Section 2(d), the Purchaser also shall make the required filings of the amended Official Statement in the manner set forth in this section.

[June 5, 2013]
Governing Body George K. Baum & Company Unified School District No. 373, Wichita, Kansas Harvey County, Kansas (Newton)
Re: $9,845,000 General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2013, of Unified School District No. 373, Harvey County, Kansas (Newton), Dated June 1, 2013
We have acted as Bond Counsel in connection with the issuance by Unified School District No. 373, Harvey County, Kansas (Newton) (the “Issuer”), of the above-captioned bonds (the “Bonds”). In this capacity, we have examined the law and the certified proceedings, certifications and other documents that we deem necessary to render this opinion. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the resolution adopted by the governing body of the Issuer authorizing the issuance and prescribing the details of the Bonds.
Regarding questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied on the certified proceedings and other certifications of public officials and others furnished to us without undertaking to verify them by independent investigation.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion, under existing law, as follows:
1. The Bonds have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer and are valid and legally binding general obligations of the Issuer.
2. The Bonds are payable as to both principal and interest from ad valorem taxes which may be levied without limitation as to rate or amount upon all the taxable tangible property, real and personal, within the territorial limits of the Issuer. The Issuer is required by law to include in its annual tax levy the principal and interest coming due on the Bonds to the extent that necessary funds are not provided from other sources.
3. The interest on the Bonds (including any original issue discount properly allocable to an owner of a Bond) is: (a) excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes; and (b) not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations, but is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings for the purpose of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations. The opinions set forth in this paragraph are subject to the condition that the Issuer complies with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in order that interest thereon be, or continue to be, excludable from gross income for federal
143 income tax purposes. The Issuer has covenanted to comply with all of these requirements. Failure to comply with certain of these requirements may cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds. The Bonds are “qualified tax-exempt obligations” within the meaning of Code § 265(b)(3). We express no opinion regarding other federal tax consequences arising with respect to the Bonds.
4. The interest on the Bonds is exempt from income taxation by the State of Kansas.
We express no opinion regarding the accuracy, completeness or sufficiency of the Official Statement or other offering material relating to the Bonds (except to the extent, if any, stated in the Official Statement). Further, we express no opinion regarding tax consequences arising with respect to the Bonds other than as expressly set forth in this opinion.
The rights of the owners of the Bonds and the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and by equitable principles, whether considered at law or in equity.
This opinion is given as of its date, and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may come to our attention or any changes in law that may occur after the date of this opinion.

[June 5, 2013]
Governing Body George K. Baum & Company Unified School District No. 373, Wichita, Kansas Harvey County, Kansas (Newton)
UMB Bank, N.A. Wichita, Kansas
Re: Unified School District No. 373, Harvey County, Kansas (Newton), General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2003
This opinion is delivered to you in connection with the satisfaction, discharge and defeasance of the following described bonds originally issued by Unified School District No. 373, Harvey County, Kansas (Newton) (the “Issuer”) (collectively, the “Defeased Bonds”):
Series Dated Date Defeased Amount Years Redemption Date 2003 July 1, 2003 $2,500,000 2014 to 2016 September 1, 2013 2007 December 1, 2007 5,900,000 2023 to 2024 September 1, 2018
The Defeased Bonds were each issued pursuant to a resolution adopted by the governing body of the Issuer (collectively, the “Bond Resolution”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Bond Resolution.
Provision has been made for the payment of the principal, redemption price, if any, and interest due or to become due on the Defeased Bonds to the above-referenced Redemption Dates at the times and in the manner specified in the Bond Resolution, by the irrevocable deposit in trust with UMB Bank, N.A., Wichita, Kansas, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to the Escrow Trust Agreement dated as of June 1, 2013 (the “Escrow Trust Agreement”), between the Issuer and the Escrow Agent, of cash and government securities that, according to the Verification Report described below, will mature as to principal and will pay interest in amounts and at times that will provide sufficient moneys to make such payments.
We have examined the law, the Bond Resolution, the Escrow Trust Agreement and the other documents and certified proceedings that we deem necessary to render this opinion. Regarding questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied on the certified proceedings and other certifications of public officials and others furnished to us without undertaking to verify them by independent investigation.
145 Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion, under existing law, as follows:
1. The Escrow Trust Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally and by equitable principles whether considered at law or in equity.
2. Provision has been made for payment of the Defeased Bonds in accordance with K.S.A. 10-427 et seq. All conditions precedent to the satisfaction, discharge and defeasance of the Defeased Bonds contained in the Bond Resolution have been complied with, and the Defeased Bonds are deemed to be paid and discharged under the Bond Resolution.
3. Provision for the payment, discharge and defeasance of the Defeased Bonds will not, in and of itself, cause the interest on the Defeased Bonds to become included in gross income for federal income tax purposes.
In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have relied upon the calculations and conclusions contained in the Verification Report dated June 5, 2013, of Causey Demgen & Moore P.C., certified public accountants, relating to the sufficiency of the Escrow Fund established under the Escrow Trust Agreement and certain yield calculations relating to the Issuer’s General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2013, Dated June 1, 2013 and the Defeased Bonds, without undertaking to verify the same.
We express no opinion with respect to the effect on the original status of the interest on the Defeased Bonds for federal income tax purposes of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuer or its affiliates with respect to the ownership, use or operation of the facilities financed or refinanced with the proceeds of the Defeased Bonds other than as stated in this opinion.
This opinion is delivered to you for your use only and may not be used or relied on by any third party for any purpose without our prior written approval in each instance.
This opinion is given as of its date, and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may come to our attention or any changes in law that may occur after the date of this opinion.

In addition to the aforementioned fee, Issuer covenants and agrees to pay to Agent the fee as stated and required by K.S.A. 10-505 for performing the duties of paying the principal of the Securities.
I V. STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE
Issuer shall provide, or shall cause to be provided to Agent, a designation of whether its Securities are to be issued in certificated or uncertificated form, or both.
A. STATEMENTS OF OWNERSHIP
Agent agrees to provide Statements of Ownership to the owner of uncertificated Securities. Such Statements shall be in accordance with the standards set forth by the Attorney General. All Statements shall be issued in the denominations of $1,000 or $5,000 or integral multiples thereof except for one additional Security in another denomination, which additional Security shall mature in the initial maturity year of the series of the Securities. Interest is computed on the basis of $1,000 or $5,000 units and in all transactions involving the payment of interest, fractions of a cent equalling or exceeding five mills shall be regarded as one cent; fractions of a cent less than five mills shall be disregarded. Agent shall at all times maintain an adequate supply of Statements of Ownership for any anticipated transfers or exchanges of the Statements.
B. CERTIFICATED SECURITIES
All certificated Securities issued by Issuer under this Agreement shall be in accordance with the standards set forth by the Attorney General and unless otherwise authorized by Agent, the principal thereof shall be payable only upon surrender of the Security to Agent. All certificates shall be issued in the denomination of $1,000 or $5,000 or integral multiples thereof except one authorized Security in another denomination which additional Security shall mature in the initial maturity year of the series of Securities. Interest is computed on the basis of $1,000 or $5,000 units and in all transactions involving the payment of interest, fractions of a cent equaling or exceeding five mills shall be regarded as one cent; fractions of a cent less than five mills shall be disregarded.

158 C. INTEREST CALCULATIONS
Agent shall calculate interest on the basis of $1,000 and $5,000 units, or in the case of one odd denomination, calculate the unit separately. Each intermediate unit calculation is first determined, then rounded to the sixth decimal position; i.e. whenever the seventh decimal place is equal to or greater than five the sixth decimal place is increased by one. The final per unit calculation is subsequently rounded to two decimal positions. (See Attachment “A” for sample calculation.)
D. SURRENDER
Securities surrendered for payment, cancellation or partial redemption shall be cancelled by Agent and returned to Issuer in accordance with K.S.A. 10-111.
E. TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES
1. When Securities are presented to Agent for transfer or exchange, Agent shall so transfer or exchange such Securities if the requirements of Section 8-401(1) of the Uniform Commercial Code are met.
2. In accordance with the authorizing Resolution or Ordinance of the Issuer (the “Bond Resolution”), payments of interest shall be made to the owner of record of each Security as of the close of business on the fifteenth day of the month preceding each interest payment date. The Agent shall make such payments to the record owner of each Security as set forth on the registration books maintained by Agent as of such date.
3. Agent shall not be required to transfer or exchange any Security during a period beginning on the day following the fifteenth day of the month preceding any interest payment date for such Securities and ending at the close of business on the interest payment date, or to transfer or exchange any Security selected or called for redemption in whole or in part subsequent to the date notice of such redemption is given in accordance with the Bond Resolution authorizing the Securities.
F. REGISTRATION DATES AND FUNDS FOR PAYMENTS
Date of Registration shall be affixed on the initial Securities. Subsequent transfers or exchanges shall bear a Date of Registration as of the date that all the required documentation is received at the Agent's official place of business. Issuer will provide funds to make any interest or principal payments in accordance with K.S.A. 10-130 and amendments thereto. Agent is hereby authorized to effect any semiannual payment of interest or any principal by charging the Issuer's Fiscal Agency account with Agent.
G. REPLACEMENT OF SECURITIES
If the owner of a Security claims that a Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, Issuer shall issue and Agent shall authenticate a replacement Security if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met. Only Agent shall perform this function. An indemnity bond and affidavit of loss shall be provided to Agent and Issuer at the expense of the owner of the Security. Such indemnity bond and
159 affidavit of loss must be sufficient in the judgment of Issuer and Agent to protect Issuer and Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if the Security is replaced. Issuer may charge the Security owner for its expenses in the replacement of a Security.
H. REDEMPTIONS
Optional Redemption. If any Securities are to be redeemed pursuant to an optional redemption in accordance with their terms, Issuer agrees to give Agent at least fifteen (15) days written notice thereof prior to the notice to be given the Security owners. If there is no provision for notice to the Security owners, Issuer agrees to give at least thirty (30) days written notice to Agent.
Notice of Redemption. Agent shall then notify, by ordinary mail, the owner of such Securities to be so redeemed. Agent shall select the Securities to be so redeemed. Agent shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Security for a period of fifteen (15) days preceding the date notice is to be provided to the Security owners for the purpose of selecting Securities on a partial redemption. Further, in the event notice is given to Agent for a complete redemption of the Issue according to the terms of the Bond Resolution, Agent shall not be required to transfer or exchange any Security beginning on the day following the 15th day preceding the date set for redemption.
I. MISCELLANEOUS

J. REPORTS
Agent shall provide Issuer an annual report of the activity with respect to the issuance of Securities upon written request of Issuer.

The substitution may be effected only if: (1) the substitution of the Substitute Escrowed Securities for the original Escrowed Securities occurs simultaneously; (2) the Escrow Agent shall receive from an independent certified public accountant acceptable to the Escrow Agent in its reasonable judgment a certification, satisfactory in form and substance to the Escrow Agent, to the effect that after such substitution, (A) the principal of and interest on the Escrowed Securities to be held in the Escrow Fund and Redemption Fund after the substitution (including Substitute Escrowed Securities to be acquired), together with any other money to be held in the Escrow Fund and Redemption Fund after such transaction, will be sufficient to pay all remaining principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Refunded Bonds pursuant to the Verification Report and Schedule 2 hereto, and (B) the amounts and dates of the anticipated transfers from the Escrow Fund and Redemption Fund to the Paying Agent for the Refunded Bonds will not be diminished or postponed thereby; and (3) the Escrow Agent shall receive a written opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such substitution is permitted under this Agreement and would not cause the interest on either the Bonds or the Refunded Bonds to become included in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation under then existing law. In the event that any such substitution results in cash held in the Escrow Fund in excess of the cash required for the certification of an independent certified public accountant referred to in this subsection (b) (as evidenced by such certification), the Escrow Agent shall, at the request of the Issuer, withdraw such excess from the Escrow Fund and Redemption Fund and pay such excess to the Issuer, and the Issuer shall apply such excess as provided by law; provided that, in the written opinion of Bond Counsel delivered to the Escrow Agent, such withdrawal and application will not be contrary to State law and will not cause the interest on the Bonds or the Refunded Bonds to become included in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation.
9. Redemption of Refunded Bonds. The Escrow Agent acknowledges that (a) the Issuer has notified the Escrow Agent that the Issuer has elected to call the Refunded Bonds described in Schedule 2 hereto for redemption and payment prior to maturity, on the Redemption Date, in accordance with the Refunded Bond Resolution and (b) the Issuer has directed the Escrow Agent to notify the Paying Agent not less than 45 days and not more than 90 days prior to each Redemption Date of such call for redemption so that the Paying Agent may cause notice of the call for redemption and payment of the Refunded Bonds to be given on behalf of the Issuer in the manner provided in the Refunded Bond Resolution. The Escrow Agent agrees to give notice of said redemption, in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 and A-2 attached hereto, on behalf of the Issuer. The Escrow Agent is further directed by the Issuer to give additional notice of defeasance in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 and B-2 attached hereto, to the Paying Agent and to: (a) George K. Baum & Company, the original purchaser of the Series 2007 Bonds and MBIA Insurance Corporation, the Bond Insurer of the Series 2007 Bonds; and (b) George K. Baum & Company, the original purchaser of the Series 2003 Bonds and Financial Security Assurance Inc., the Bond Insurer of the Series 2003 Bonds, not more than 60 days after June 5, 2013. Notice shall also be given to certain repositories in order to comply with the provisions of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission in substantially the form of Exhibit C attached hereto. Additional notice is for convenience in facilitating said redemption and defeasance; failure to give such notice as aforesaid, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of any proceedings for the redemption and defeasance of the Refunded Bonds.
10. Reports of the Escrow Agent. As long as any of the Refunded Bonds, together with the interest thereon, have not been paid in full, the Escrow Agent shall, at least sixty (60) days prior to each Bond Payment Date, determine the amount of money which will be available in the Escrow Fund to pay
176 the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Refunded Bonds on the next Bond Payment Date or Redemption Date. In the event that funds are not sufficient to make the required payments on such Bond Payment Date or Redemption Date, the Escrow Agent shall certify in writing to the Issuer (a) the amount so determined and (b) a list of the moneys and Escrowed Securities held by the Escrow Agent in the Escrow Fund on the date of such certification, including all moneys held by it which were received as interest or profit from Escrowed Securities. On or prior to the Redemption Date, the Escrow Agent shall provide to the Issuer a certificate verifying dissemination of notice to the Paying Agent as required in Section 9 hereof.
11. Liability of Escrow Agent.
(a) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss resulting from any investment, sale, transfer or other disposition made pursuant to this Agreement in compliance with the provisions hereof. The Escrow Agent shall have no lien whatsoever on, or right of set-off with respect to, any of the moneys or Escrowed Securities on deposit in the Escrow Fund and Redemption Fund for the payment of fees and expenses for services rendered by the Escrow Agent under this Agreement or otherwise.
(b) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for the accuracy of the calculations as to the sufficiency of the Escrowed Securities and moneys to pay the Refunded Bonds. So long as the Escrow Agent applies the Escrowed Securities and moneys held in the Escrow Fund and Redemption Fund as provided herein, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any deficiencies in the amounts necessary to pay the Refunded Bonds.
(c) In the event of the Escrow Agent's failure to account for any of the Escrowed Securities or moneys received by it, said Escrowed Securities or moneys shall be and remain the property of the Issuer in trust for the Owners of the Refunded Bonds and if, for any reason, such Escrowed Securities or moneys are not applied as herein provided, the assets of the Escrow Agent shall be impressed with a trust for the amount thereof until the required application shall be made.
(d) The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any action or failure to take action on the part of the Paying Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing subsections, the Escrow Agent shall not be relieved of liability arising from, and proximate to, its failure to comply fully with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.
(f) The Escrow Agent may rely and shall be protected in acting upon or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, verification, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
(g) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an authorized officer, employee or agent of the Escrow Agent, unless it shall be proved that the Escrow Agent was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(h) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Escrow Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Escrow Agent shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.
12. Fees and Costs.
177
(a) The aggregate amount of the costs, fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent in connection with the creation of the escrow described in and created by this Agreement and in carrying out any of the duties, terms or provisions of this Agreement is a one-time fee in the amount of $3,500, which amount shall be paid from money on deposit in the Costs of Issuance Account established by the Bond Resolution concurrently with the issuance and delivery of the Bonds. Notwithstanding the preceding, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Issuer of reasonable out-of-pocket, legal or extraordinary expenses incurred in carrying out the duties, terms or provisions of this Agreement. Claims for such reimbursement may be made to the Issuer and in no event shall such reimbursement be made from funds held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) In addition to the amount set forth in Section 5 hereof, the Escrow Agent shall receive the sum of $52,000 for deposit into the Costs of Issuance Account hereby created with the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall pay Costs of Issuance in an aggregate sum not to exceed said amount. An estimated schedule of such expenses are attached hereto as Schedule 3. The Escrow Agent is authorized to pay such costs based on receipt of invoices or statements in amounts not in excess of those estimated on Schedule 3. In the event invoices are received in excess of the estimated amounts set forth on Schedule 3, such amounts shall not be paid without written approval of the Issuer. Any Costs of Issuance funds on deposit which the Issuer shall certify to the Escrow Agent are not needed to pay such expenses shall be returned to the Issuer following receipt of such certification, but in any case not later than 30 days prior to September 1, 2013.
13. Resignation or Removal of Escrow Agent; Successor Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent at the time acting hereunder may at any time resign and be discharged from its duties and responsibilities hereby created by giving written notice by registered or certified mail to the Issuer and the Paying Agent (who shall cause notice to be given to the Owners of the Refunded Bonds by first-class mail) not less than 60 days prior to the date when the resignation is to take effect. Such resignation shall take effect immediately upon the acceptance of the Issuer of the resignation, the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent (which may be a temporary Escrow Agent) by the Issuer, the acceptance of such successor Escrow Agent of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement, the transfer of the Escrow Fund and Redemption Fund, including the money and Escrowed Securities held therein, to such successor Escrow Agent and the completion of any other actions required for the principal of and interest on the Escrowed Securities to be made payable to such successor Escrow Agent rather than the resigning Escrow Agent.
The Escrow Agent may be removed at any time by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing, delivered to the Escrow Agent and the Issuer and signed by the owners of a majority in principal amount of the Refunded Bonds then outstanding; provided that written notice thereof is mailed on or before the date of such removal by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Owners of such Refunded Bonds, who are not parties to such instruments. The Escrow Agent may also be removed by the Issuer if the Escrow Agent fails to make timely payment of available moneys on any Bond Payment Date to the Paying Agent of the amounts required to be paid by it on such Bond Payment Date by Section 7(b) of this Agreement; provided that written notice thereof is mailed on or before the date of such removal by first- class mail, postage prepaid, to the Paying Agent and to all Owners of such Refunded Bonds, who are not parties to such instruments. Any removal pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective upon the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent (which may be a temporary successor Escrow Agent) by the Issuer, the acceptance of such successor Escrow Agent of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement, the transfer of the Escrow Fund, including the money and Escrowed Securities held therein, to such successor Escrow Agent and the completion of any other actions required for the principal of and interest on the Escrowed Securities to be made payable to such successor Escrow Agent rather than the Escrow Agent being removed.
178
If the Escrow Agent shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved, or shall be in the course of dissolution or liquidation, or otherwise become incapable of acting hereunder, or in case the Escrow Agent shall be taken under the control of any public officer or officers, or of a receiver appointed by a court, the Issuer shall appoint a temporary Escrow Agent to fill such vacancy until a successor Escrow Agent shall be appointed by the Issuer in the manner above provided, and any such temporary Escrow Agent so appointed by the Issuer shall immediately and without further act be superseded by the successor Escrow Agent so appointed.
If no appointment of a successor Escrow Agent or a temporary successor Escrow Agent shall have been made by the Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section within 60 days after written notice of resignation of the Escrow Agent has been given to the Issuer or instrument of removal has been delivered to the Escrow Agent, the Owner of any of the Refunded Bonds or any retiring or removed Escrow Agent may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent, and such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it shall deem proper, appoint a successor Escrow Agent.
No successor Escrow Agent shall be appointed unless such successor Escrow Agent shall be a corporation with trust powers authorized to do business in the State of Kansas (as required by K.S.A. 10-427 et seq., as amended), and organized under the banking laws of the United States or the State of Kansas and shall have at the time of appointment capital and surplus of not less than $10,000,000.
Every successor Escrow Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to the Issuer an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Escrow Agent without any further act, deed or conveyance shall become fully vested with all the rights, immunities, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessor, but such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of such successor Escrow Agent or the Issuer, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Escrow Agent all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of such predecessor hereunder, and every predecessor Escrow Agent shall deliver all securities and money held by it to its successor. Should any transfer, assignment or instrument in writing from the Issuer be required by any successor Escrow Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in such successor Escrow Agent the estates, rights, powers and duties hereby vested or intended to be vested in the predecessor Escrow Agent, any such transfer, assignment and instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer.
Any corporation into which the Escrow Agent, or any successor to it of the duties and responsibilities created by this Agreement, may be merged or converted or with which it or any successor to it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion, consolidation or reorganization to which the Escrow Agent or any successor to it may be a party, shall, if satisfactory to the Issuer, be the successor Escrow Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any other act on the part of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
The Issuer shall immediately notify the Rating Agency upon receipt of written notice in accordance with this Section which would result in the resignation, removal, dissolution, liquidation or the incapability of action hereunder of the Escrow Agent and appointment of any successor Escrow Agent.
In the event of resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent, a portion of the amount paid to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the preceding section shall be returned to the Issuer, such portion to be computed by multiplying the fee specified in the preceding section by the ratio of the number of months
179 which the trust created by this Agreement will continue from the effective date of such resignation or removal to the entire term of such trust. Of the amount paid to the Escrow Agent, one-fourth of the one- time fee shall be treated as the initial set up fee and is not refundable.
14. Amendments to this Agreement. This Agreement is made for the benefit of the Issuer and the Owners from time to time of the Refunded Bonds and it shall not be repealed, revoked, altered or amended without the written consent of all such Owners, the Escrow Agent and the Issuer; provided, however, that the Issuer and the Escrow Agent may, without the consent of, or notice to, such Owners, enter into such agreements supplemental to this Agreement as shall not adversely affect the rights of such Owners and as shall not be inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, for any one or more of the following purposes:
(a) to cure any ambiguity or formal defect or omission in this Agreement;
(b) to grant to, or confer upon, the Escrow Agent for the benefit of the Owners of the Refunded Bonds, any additional rights, remedies, powers or authority that may lawfully be granted to, or conferred upon, such Owners or the Escrow Agent; and
(c) to subject to this Agreement additional funds, securities or properties.
The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon an unqualified written opinion of Bond Counsel with respect to compliance with this Section, including the extent, if any, to which any change, modification, addition or elimination affects the rights of the Owners of the Refunded Bonds, or that any instrument executed hereunder complies with the conditions and provisions of this Section.
The Escrow Agent shall notify the Rating Agency in writing prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement.
15. Indemnification.

In no event shall the Issuer be liable to any person by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby other than to the Escrow Agent as set forth in this Section 15. The indemnities contained in this Section 15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
The Escrow Agent and its respective successors, assigns, agents, directors, officers, employees and servants shall not be held to any personal liability whatsoever, in tort, contract or otherwise, in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the establishment of the Escrow Fund, Redemption Fund or the Costs of Issuance Account, the acceptance of the moneys deposited therein, the purchase of the Escrowed Securities, the retention of the Escrowed Securities or the proceeds thereof or
180 any payment, transfer or other application of the moneys or securities held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or by reason of any non-negligent act, omission or error of the Escrow Agent made in good faith in the conduct of its duties. The duties and obligations of the Escrow Agent shall be determined by the express provisions of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel who may or may not be counsel to the Issuer, and in reliance upon the opinion of such counsel shall have full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith in accordance therewith. Whenever the Escrow Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action under this Agreement, such matter may be deemed to be conclusively established by a certificate signed by an authorized officer of the Issuer.
16. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, it shall be sufficient service of any notice, request, complaint, demand or other paper required by the Bond Resolution or this Agreement to be given to or filed with the parties hereto or any entity referenced herein (provided that notice to the Escrow Agent shall be effective only following receipt) if the same shall be duly mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the Notice Representative at the Notice Address (as said terms are defined in the Bond Resolution).
17. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate when all transfers required to be made by the Escrow Agent under the provisions hereof shall have been made.
18. Severability. If any one or more of the covenants or agreements provided in this Agreement on the part of the Issuer or the Escrow Agent to be performed should be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, such covenant or agreement shall be deemed and construed to be severable from the remaining covenants and agreements herein contained, and shall in no way affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
19. Successors and Assigns. All of the covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement contained by or on behalf of the Issuer or by or on behalf of the Escrow Agent shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, their respective successors and assigns, whether or not so expressed.

GENERAL REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS
Section 2.01 Representations and Covenants of the Issuer. The Issuer represents and covenants as follows:
(a) Organization and Authority. The Issuer: (1) is a unified school district, duly created, organized and existing under the Constitution and laws of the State, (2) has lawful power and authority to issue the Bonds for the purposes set forth in the Bond Resolution, to enter into, execute and deliver the Bond Resolution, the Bonds, and this Tax Certificate and to carry out its obligations under this Tax Certificate and under such documents, and (3) by all necessary action has been duly authorized to execute and deliver the Bond Resolution, the Bonds, and this Tax Certificate, acting by and through its duly authorized officials.
(b) Tax-Exempt Status of Bonds–General Covenant. The Issuer (to the extent within its power or direction) will not use any money on deposit in any fund or account maintained in connection with the Bonds, whether or not such money was derived from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds or from any other source, in a manner that would cause the Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds,” within the meaning of Code § 148, and will not (to the extent within its power or direction) otherwise use or permit the use of any Bond proceeds or any other funds of the Issuer, directly or indirectly, in any manner, or take or permit to be taken any other action or actions, that would cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes.
(c) Governmental Obligations–Use of Proceeds. Throughout the Measurement Period: (1) all of the Financed Improvements are expected to be owned by the Issuer or another Qualified User; (2) except as described in Section 2.01(g), no portion of the Financed Improvements are expected to be used in a Non-Qualified Use; and (3) the Issuer will not permit any Non-Qualified Use of the Financed Improvements without first obtaining an Opinion of Bond Counsel. The Issuer will monitor the usage of all portions of the Financed Improvements during the Measurement Period. If the Non-Qualified Use of the Financed Improvements exceeds 10% of the total use over the Measurement Period, then the Issuer will take “remedial action” in accordance with Regulations § 1.141-12, as specified in an Opinion of Bond Counsel, as necessary to maintain the exclusion of the interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The Issuer understands that remedial action could include redemption or defeasance of all or a portion of the Bonds.
207 (d) Governmental Obligations–Private Security or Payment. As of the Issue Date, the Issuer expects that none of the principal and interest on the Bonds and the payment of principal of and interest on the Refunded Obligations has been (under the terms of the Bonds or any underlying arrangement) directly or indirectly:
(1) Secured by (i) any interest in property used or to be used for a private business use, or (ii) any interest in payments in respect of such property; or
(2) Derived from payments (whether or not such payments are made to the Issuer) in respect of property, or borrowed money, used or to be used for a private business use.
For purposes of the forgoing, taxes of general application, including payments in lieu of taxes, are not treated as private payments or as private security.
Bond Counsel has advised the Issuer that the Childcare Center Agreement (as defined in Section 2.01(g) below) may give rise to Non-Qualified Use of a portion of the Financed Improvements. However, the Issuer does not receive any payments pursuant to the Childcare Center Agreement. Therefore, as of the Issue Date, no portion of the payment of principal or interest on the Bonds or the Refunded Obligations has been (a) derived from revenues generated from the Childcare Center Agreement or (b) secured by an interest in those revenues or an interest in the Financed Improvements.
The Issuer will not permit any private security or payment with respect to the Bonds without first obtaining an Opinion of Bond Counsel.
(e) No Private Loan. Not more than 5% of the Net Proceeds of the Bonds will be loaned directly or indirectly to any Non-Qualified User.
(f) Management Agreements. As of the Issue Date, the Issuer has no Management Agreements with Non-Qualified Users. During the Measurement Period, the Issuer will not enter into or renew any Management Agreement with any Non-Qualified User without first obtaining an Opinion of Bond Counsel.
(g) Leases. As of the Issue Date, the Issuer has entered into the following lease relating to a portion of the Financed Improvements:
• Newton Community Childcare Center, Inc., dated June 29, 2010 (the “Childcare Center Agreement”).
A current and complete copy of the Childcare Center Agreement has been made available to Bond Counsel prior to the Issue Date. Bond Counsel has advised the Issuer that the Childcare Center Agreement may give rise to Non-Qualified Use of a portion of the Financed Improvements. Except for the Childcare Center Agreement, the Issuer has not entered into any leases of any portion of the Financed Improvements other than Qualified Use Agreements. During the Measurement Period, the Issuer will not enter into or renew any lease or similar agreement or arrangement, including the Childcare Center Agreement, other than a Qualified Use Agreement without first obtaining an Opinion of Bond Counsel.
(h) Output Contracts. As of the Issue Date, the Issuer does not have any Output Contract. During the Measurement Period, the Issuer will not enter into any Output Contract without first obtaining an Opinion of Bond Counsel.
208 (i) Limit on Maturity of Bonds. A list of the assets included in the Financed Improvements and a computation of the “average reasonably expected economic life” is attached to this Tax Certificate as Exhibit D. Based on this computation, the “average maturity” of the Bonds, as computed by Bond Counsel, does not exceed 120% of the average reasonably expected economic life of the Financed Improvements. The “average reasonably expected economic life” of the Financed Improvements was determined as follows: the average economic life of the Financed Improvements as of the issue date of the Original Obligations was first multiplied by 120%, then reduced by the number of years elapsed from the issue date of the Original Obligations to the Issue Date.
(j) Expenditure of Original Obligation Proceeds.
(1) Reimbursement of Expenditures; Official Intent. The governing body of the Issuer adopted resolutions declaring the intent of the Issuer to finance the Financed Improvements with tax-exempt bonds and to reimburse the Issuer for expenditures made for the Financed Improvements prior to the issuance of those bonds. No portion of the Net Proceeds of the Original Obligations were used to reimburse an expenditure paid by the Issuer more than 60 days prior to the date the respective resolution was adopted, except for Preliminary Expenditures or as otherwise described in the federal tax certificate of similar document for the Original Obligations. The Issuer evidenced each allocation of the proceeds of the Original Obligations to an expenditure in writing.
(2) Final Allocation of Original Obligation Proceeds to Expenditures. The Improvements were placed in service on the dates listed on Exhibit D. The Issuer made a final allocation of proceeds of the Original Obligations to the Financed Improvements, a copy of which is attached to this Tax Certificate as Exhibit D. The Issuer will maintain the Final Allocation and accurate supporting records of all expenditures made for the Improvements, including the amount, the date paid, a description of the purpose, and the source of funds (whether Bond proceeds or other money) allocated to each Improvement expenditure, in accordance with Section 4.02 of this Tax Certificate.
(3) Compliance Account. Except as provided in this paragraph (3), the Issuer may allocate Bond proceeds held in the Compliance Account to pay fees and expenses relating to compliance with federal arbitrage law, state or federal securities laws, and other costs or expenses of carrying or repaying the Bonds. The Issuer expects that all amounts in the Compliance Account will be allocated to expenditures within six years after the Issue Date. If any money remains in the Compliance Account on the sixth anniversary of the Issue Date, the Issuer will transfer that money to the Debt Service Account and use it to pay principal or interest on the Bonds.
(k) Registered Bonds. The Bond Resolution requires that all of the Bonds will be issued and held in registered form within the meaning of Code § 149(a).
(l) Bonds Not Federally Guaranteed. The Issuer will not take any action or permit any action to be taken which would cause any Bond to be “federally guaranteed” within the meaning of Code § 149(b).
(m) IRS Form 8038-G. Bond Counsel will prepare IRS Form 8038-G (Information Return for Tax-Exempt Governmental Obligations) based on the representations and covenants of the Issuer contained in this Tax Certificate or otherwise provided by the Issuer. Bond Counsel will sign the return as a paid preparer following completion and will then deliver copies to the Issuer for execution and for the
209 Issuer’s records. The Issuer agrees to timely execute and return to Bond Counsel the execution copy of Form 8038-G for filing with the IRS. A copy of the IRS Form 8038-G as filed with the IRS with proof of filing will be included in Exhibit A of Tax Certificate.
(n) Hedge Bonds. At least 85% of the net sale proceeds (the sale proceeds of the Original Obligations less any sale proceeds invested in a reserve fund) of the Original Obligations were used to carry out the governmental purpose of the Original Obligations within 3 years after the issue date of the Original Obligations, and not more than 50% of the proceeds of the Original Obligations were invested in Investments having a substantially guaranteed Yield for 4 years or more.
(o) Single Issue; No Other Issues. The Bonds constitute a single “issue” under Regulations § 1.150-1(c). No other debt obligations of the Issuer: (1) are being sold within 15 days of the sale of the Bonds, (2) are being sold under the same plan of financing as the Bonds, and (3) are expected to be paid from substantially the same source of funds as the Bonds (disregarding guarantees from unrelated parties, such as bond insurance).
(p) Interest Rate Swap. As of the Issue Date, the Issuer has not entered into an interest rate swap agreement or any other similar arrangement designed to modify its interest rate risk with respect to the Bonds. The Issuer will not enter into any such arrangement in the future without obtaining an Opinion of Bond Counsel.
(q) Guaranteed Investment Contract. As of the Issue Date, the Issuer does not expect to enter into a Guaranteed Investment Contract for any Gross Proceeds of the Bonds. The Issuer will be responsible for complying with Section 4.04(d) hereof if it decides to enter into a Guaranteed Investment Contract at a later date.
(r) Bank Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligation. The Issuer designates the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” under Code § 265(b)(3), and with respect to this designation certifies as follows:
(1) the Issuer reasonably anticipates that the amount of tax-exempt obligations (other than private activity bonds that are not qualified 501(c)(3) bonds) that will be issued by or on behalf of the Issuer (and all subordinate entities of the Issuer) during the calendar year that the Bonds are issued, including the Bonds, will not exceed $10,000,000; and
(2) the Issuer (including all subordinate entities of the Issuer) will not issue tax- exempt obligations (other than private activity bonds that are not qualified 501(c)(3) bonds) during the calendar year that the Bonds are issued, including the Bonds, in an aggregate principal amount or aggregate issue price in excess of $10,000,000, without first obtaining an Opinion of Bond Counsel that the designation of the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” will not be adversely affected.
Section 2.02 Continuing Application of Representations and Covenants. All representations, covenants and certifications contained in this Tax Certificate or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by the Issuer under this Tax Certificate, will survive the execution and delivery of such documents and the issuance of the Bonds, as representations of facts existing as of the date of execution and delivery of the instruments containing such representations. The foregoing covenants of this Section will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the defeasance of the Bonds.
210 ARTICLE III
ARBITRAGE CERTIFICATIONS AND COVENANTS
Section 3.01 General. The purpose of this Article is to certify, under Regulations § 1.148- 2(b), the Issuer’s expectations as to the sources, uses and investment of Bond proceeds and other money, in order to support the Issuer’s conclusion that the Bonds are not arbitrage bonds. The person executing this Tax Certificate on behalf of the Issuer is an officer of the Issuer responsible for issuing the Bonds.
Section 3.02 Reasonable Expectations. The facts, estimates and expectations set forth in this Article are based upon and in reliance upon the Issuer’s understanding of the documents and certificates that comprise the Transcript, and the representations, covenants and certifications of the parties contained therein. To the Issuer’s knowledge, the facts and estimates set forth in this Tax Certificate are accurate, and the expectations of the Issuer set forth in this Tax Certificate are reasonable. The Issuer has no knowledge that would cause it to believe that the representations, warranties and certifications described in this Tax Certificate are unreasonable or inaccurate or may not be relied upon.
Section 3.03 Purpose of Financing. The Bonds are being issued for the purpose of providing funds to pay: (a) the costs of refunding the Refunded Obligations; and (b) Costs of Issuance. The purpose of the refunding is to achieve interest cost savings through early redemption of the Refunded Obligations, to reduce debt service requirements of the Issuer for certain years, to restructure the debt payments on the Refunded Obligations and to provide an orderly plan of finance for the Issuer.
Section 3.04 Funds and Accounts. The following funds and accounts have been established under the Bond Resolution:
(a) Debt Service Account. (b) Rebate Fund. (c) Compliance Account.
In addition to the Funds and Accounts described above, the Escrow Agreement establishes the following Funds and Accounts to be held and administered by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement:
(a) Escrow Fund. (b) Costs of Issuance Account. (c) Redemption Fund.
Section 3.05 Amount and Use of Bond Proceeds.
(a) Amount of Bond Proceeds. The total proceeds to be received by the Issuer from the sale of the Bonds are as evidenced in Exhibit B attached to this Tax Certificate.
(b) Use of Bond Proceeds. The Bond proceeds are expected to be allocated to expenditures as follows:
(1) All accrued interest ($2,187.78) and excess proceeds ($3,019.13) will be deposited in the Debt Service Account and allocated to pay interest on the Bonds.
211 (2) The sum of $52,000 will be transferred to the Escrow Agent for deposit in the Costs of Issuance Account and used to pay the Costs of Issuance of the Bonds.
(3) The sum of $2,541,088.75 will be transferred to the Escrow Agent for deposit in the Redemption Fund to be applied as provided in the Escrow Agreement to pay the principal of, redemption premium, and interest on the Current Refunded Obligations. Any amount not so used on the redemption date will be transferred to the Issuer for deposit in the Debt Service Account.
(4) The remaining Bond proceeds in the amount of $7,253,104.22 will be transferred to the Escrow Agent for deposit in the Escrow Fund to be applied as provided in the Escrow Agreement to pay the principal of, redemption premium, and interest on the Advance Refunded Obligations. Any amount not so used on the redemption date will be transferred to the Issuer for deposit in the Debt Service Account.
Section 3.06 Multipurpose Issue. The Issuer is applying the arbitrage rules to separate financing purposes of the issue that have the same initial temporary period as if they constitute a single issue for purposes pursuant to Regulations § 1.148-9(h)(3)(i). Under Regulations § 1.148-9(h), the Bonds will be treated as two separate issues (an Advance Refunding Portion and a Current Refunding Portion) for purposes of applying certain of the arbitrage restrictions under Code § 148. The sale proceeds of the Bonds allocable to the Advance Refunding and Current Refunding Portion are set forth on Exhibit F hereto.
Section 3.07 Advance Refunding Portion.
(a) Escrow Fund. The remaining debt service requirements on the Advance Refunded Obligations are set forth in the Verification Report. Money in the Escrow Fund aggregating $7,252,604.22 will be used to purchase the Escrowed Securities, as described in the Verification Report, and $500 will be held uninvested as the initial cash balance in the Escrow Fund. The maturing principal of and interest on the Escrowed Securities and the initial cash deposit in the Escrow Fund will be expended to pay the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Advance Refunded Obligations.
(b) Limit On Advance Refundings. Proceeds of the Series 2007 Bonds were used in part to refund the Series 1998 Bonds and in part to finance new money capital expenditures. Using the debt- service allocation method set forth in Regulations § 1.148-9(h)(4)(v)(B), the Issuer has allocated the Series 2007 Bonds to the refunding of the Series 1998 Bonds and the financing of new money capital expenditures as shown on Exhibit G attached to this Tax Certificate. The Refunded Obligations comprise the portion of the Series 2007 Bonds allocated to financing new money capital expenditures. Therefore, the issuance of the Bonds constitutes the first advance refunding of the new money portion of the Series 2007 Bonds, and no Bond proceeds are being used to advance refund the portion of the Series 2007 obligations that are allocated to the advance refunding of the Series 1998 Bonds.
(c) Transferred Proceeds. There are no unspent proceeds (sale proceeds, Investment proceeds or transferred proceeds) of the Advance Refunded Obligations. Therefore there are no transferred proceeds of the Advance Refunding Portion.
(d) Yield On The Escrowed Securities. The Yield on the Escrowed Securities ([____]%, as shown in the Verification Report), does not exceed the Yield on the Bonds (see Section 3.13).
212 (e) Market Prices. All of the Escrowed Securities in the Escrow Fund were purchased at fair market value pursuant to a bona fide solicitation for bids in accordance with Regulations § 1.148- 5(d)(6)(iii). Attached to this Tax Certificate as Exhibit H is a certificate of the entity which acted as bidding agent in connection with the acquisition of the Escrowed Securities.
(f) Excess Gross Proceeds. There will be no excess gross proceeds of the Bonds.
Section 3.08 Current Refunding Portion.
(a) Proceeds Used For Current Refunding. Proceeds of the Current Refunding Portion will be used to pay principal and interest on the Current Refunded Obligations. All such proceeds shall be spent not later than 90 days after the Issue Date.
(b) Transferred Proceeds. There are no unspent proceeds (sale proceeds, Investment proceeds or transferred proceeds) of the Current Refunded Obligations. Therefore there are no transferred proceeds of the Current Refunding Portion.
(c) Redemption Fund. Money in the Redemption Fund in the amount of $2,541,088 will be used to purchase the Escrowed Securities, as described in the Verification Report, and $0.75 will be held uninvested as the initial cash balance in the Escrow Fund. The maturing principal of such Escrowed Securities and the initial cash deposit in the Redemption Fund will be expended to pay the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Current Refunded Obligations. All of the Escrowed Securities in the Redemption Fund are United States Treasury Securities State and Local Government Series purchased directly from the United States Treasury.
(d) Payment of Current Refunded Obligations. The remaining debt service requirements on the Current Refunded Obligations are set forth in the Verification Report. The maturing principal of the Escrowed Securities and the initial cash deposit in the Redemption Fund attributable to the Current Refunded Obligations will be expended to pay the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Current Refunded Obligations.
Section 3.09 Completion of Financed Improvements. The Financed Improvements have previously been completed.
Section 3.10 Sinking Funds. The Issuer is required to make periodic payments in amounts sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds. Such payments will be deposited into the Debt Service Account. Except for the Debt Service Account, no sinking fund or other similar fund that is expected to be used to pay principal of or interest on the Bonds has been established or is expected to be established. The Debt Service Account is used primarily to achieve a proper matching of revenues with principal and interest payments on the Bonds within each Bond Year, and the Issuer expects that the Debt Service Account will qualify as a Bona Fide Debt Service Fund.
Section 3.11 Reserve, Replacement and Pledged Funds.
(a) No Reserve Fund. No reserve fund has been or will be established for the Bonds.
(b) No Replacement or Pledged Funds. None of the Bond proceeds will be used as a substitute for other funds that were intended or earmarked to pay costs of the Financed Improvements, and that instead has been or will be used to acquire higher yielding Investments. Except for the Debt Service Account, there are no other funds pledged or committed in a manner that provides a reasonable
213 assurance that such funds would be available for payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds if the Issuer encounters financial difficulty.
(c) Compliance Account. Amounts held in the Compliance Account are expected to be used to pay fees and expenses relating to compliance with federal arbitrage law, state or federal securities laws, and other costs or expenses of carrying or repaying the Bonds. Therefore, amounts held in the Compliance Account are not pledged or committed in a manner that provides a reasonable assurance that such funds would be available for payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds if the Issuer encounters financial difficulty.
Section 3.12 Purpose Investment Yield. The proceeds of the Bonds will not be used to purchase an Investment for the purpose of carrying out the governmental purpose of the financing.
Section 3.13 Offering Prices and Yield on Bonds.
(a) Offering Prices. On Exhibit C, the Purchaser has certified that (1) all of the Bonds have been the subject of an initial offering to the public at prices no higher than those shown on such Exhibit C, plus accrued interest (the “Offering Prices”); and (2) the Purchaser expects that at least 10% of the Bonds of each maturity will be sold to the public at initial offering prices no higher than said Offering Prices. The aggregate initial offering price of the Bonds is $9,936,832.60, plus accrued interest.
(b) Bond Yield. Based on the Offering Prices, the Yield on the Bonds is 1.8668256%, as shown in the Verification Report. The Issuer has not entered into an interest rate swap agreement with respect to any portion of the proceeds of the Bonds.
Section 3.14 Miscellaneous Arbitrage Matters.
(a) No Abusive Arbitrage Device. The Bonds are not and will not be part of a transaction or series of transactions that has the effect of (1) enabling the Issuer to exploit the difference between tax- exempt and taxable interest rates to gain a material financial advantage, and (2) overburdening the tax- exempt bond market.
(b) No Over-Issuance. The sale proceeds of the Bonds, together with expected Investment earnings thereon and other money contributed by the Issuer, do not exceed the cost of the governmental purpose of the Bonds as described above.
Section 3.15 Conclusion. On the basis of the facts, estimates and circumstances set forth in this Tax Certificate, the Issuer does not expect that the Bond proceeds will be used in a manner that would cause any Bond to be an “arbitrage bond” within the meaning of Code § 148 and the Regulations.

(d) Opinions of Bond Counsel. The Bond Compliance Officer is responsible for obtaining and delivering to the Issuer any Opinion of Bond Counsel required under the provisions of this Tax Certificate or the Annual Compliance Checklist.
Section 4.03 Restrictions on Investment Yield. Except as described below, Gross Proceeds must not be invested at a Yield greater than the Yield on the Bonds:
(a) Escrow Fund. Proceeds of the Advance Refunding Portion deposited in the Escrow Fund are being invested at a Yield less than the Yield on the Bonds.
(b) Redemption Fund. Proceeds of the Current Refunding Portion deposited in the Redemption Fund and Investment earnings on those proceeds may be invested without Yield restriction for a period of 90 days after the Issue Date.
(c) Cost of Issuance Account. Proceeds of the Advance Refunding Portion deposited in the Cost of Issuance Account and Investment earnings on such proceeds may be invested without Yield restriction for 13 months after the Issue Date.

(g) Compliance Account. Money other than sale proceeds or Investment proceeds of the Bonds on deposit in the Compliance Account may be invested without Yield restriction.
Section 4.04 Procedures for Establishing Fair Market Value of Investments.
(a) General. No Investment may be acquired with Gross Proceeds for an amount (including transaction costs) in excess of the fair market value of such Investment, or sold or otherwise disposed of for an amount (including transaction costs) less than the fair market value of the Investment. The fair market value of any Investment is the price a willing buyer would pay to a willing seller to acquire the
216 Investment in a bona fide, arm’s-length transaction. Fair market value will be determined in accordance with Regulations § 1.148-5.
(b) Established Securities Market. Except for Investments purchased for a yield-restricted defeasance escrow, if an Investment is purchased or sold in an arm’s-length transaction on an established securities market (within the meaning of Code § 1273), the purchase or sale price constitutes the fair market value. Where there is no established securities market for an Investment, market value must be established using one of the paragraphs below. The fair market value of Investments purchased for a Yield-restricted defeasance escrow must be determined in a bona fide solicitation for bids that complies with Regulations § 1.148-5.
(c) Certificates of Deposit. The purchase price of a certificate of deposit (a “CD”) is treated as its fair market value on the purchase date if (1) the CD has a fixed interest rate, a fixed payment schedule, and a substantial penalty for early withdrawal, (2) the Yield on the CD is not less than the Yield on reasonably comparable direct obligations of the United States, and (3) the Yield is not less than the highest Yield published or posted by the CD issuer to be currently available on reasonably comparable CDs offered to the public.
(d) Guaranteed Investment Contracts. The Issuer is applying Regulations § 1.148- 5(d)(6)(iii)(A) as amended by the Proposed Regulations (relating to electronic bidding of Guaranteed Investment Contracts) to the Bonds. The purchase price of a Guaranteed Investment Contract is treated as its fair market value on the purchase date if all of the following requirements are met:
(1) Bona Fide Solicitation for Bids. The Issuer makes a bona fide solicitation for the Guaranteed Investment Contract, using the following procedures:
(A) The bid specifications are in writing and are timely forwarded to potential providers, or are made available on an internet website or other similar electronic media that is regularly used to post bid specifications to potential bidders. A writing includes a hard copy, a fax, or an electronic e-mail copy.
(B) The bid specifications include all “material” terms of the bid. A term is material if it may directly or indirectly affect the yield or the cost of the Guaranteed Investment Contract.
(C) The bid specifications include a statement notifying potential providers that submission of a bid is a representation (i) that the potential provider did not consult with any other potential provider about its bid, (ii) that the bid was determined without regard to any other formal or informal agreement that the potential provider has with the Issuer, or any other person (whether or not in connection with the bond issue), and (iii) that the bid is not being submitted solely as a courtesy to the Issuer, or any other person, for purposes of satisfying the requirements of the Regulations.
(D) The terms of the bid specifications are “commercially reasonable.” A term is commercially reasonable if there is a legitimate business purpose for the term other than to increase the purchase price or reduce the yield of the Guaranteed Investment Contract.
(E) The terms of the solicitation take into account the Issuer’s reasonably expected deposit and draw-down schedule for the amounts to be invested.
217 (F) All potential providers have an equal opportunity to bid. If the bidding process affords any opportunity for a potential provider to review other bids before providing a bid, then providers have an equal opportunity to bid only if all potential providers have an equal opportunity to review other bids. Thus, no potential provider may be given an opportunity to review other bids that is not equally given to all potential providers (that is no exclusive “last look”).
(G) At least 3 “reasonably competitive providers” are solicited for bids. A reasonably competitive provider is a provider that has an established industry reputation as a competitive provider of the type of investments being purchased.
(2) Bids Received. The bids received by the Issuer must meet all of the following requirements:
(A) The Issuer receives at least 3 bids from providers that were solicited as described above and that do not have a “material financial interest” in the issue. For this purpose, (i) a lead underwriter in a negotiated underwriting transaction is deemed to have a material financial interest in the issue until 15 days after the issue date of the issue, (ii) any entity acting as a financial advisor with respect to the purchase of the Guaranteed Investment Contract at the time the bid specifications are forwarded to potential providers has a material financial interest in the issue, and (iii) a provider that is a related party to a provider that has a material financial interest in the issue is deemed to have a material financial interest in the issue.
(B) At least 1 of the 3 bids received is from a reasonably competitive provider, as defined above.
(C) If the Issuer uses an agent or broker to conduct the bidding process, the agent or broker did not bid to provide the Guaranteed Investment Contract.
(3) Winning Bid. The winning bid is the highest yielding bona fide bid (determined net of any broker’s fees).
(4) Fees Paid. The obligor on the Guaranteed Investment Contract certifies the administrative costs that it pays (or expects to pay, if any) to third parties in connection with supplying the Guaranteed Investment Contract.
(5) Records. The Issuer retains the following records with the bond documents until 3 years after the last outstanding Bond is redeemed:
(A) A copy of the Guaranteed Investment Contract.
(B) The receipt or other record of the amount actually paid by the Issuer for the Guaranteed Investment Contract, including a record of any administrative costs paid by the Issuer, and the certification as to fees paid, described in paragraph (d)(4) above.
(C) For each bid that is submitted, the name of the person and entity submitting the bid, the time and date of the bid, and the bid results.
218 (D) The bid solicitation form and, if the terms of the Guaranteed Investment Contract deviated from the bid solicitation form or a submitted bid is modified, a brief statement explaining the deviation and stating the purpose for the deviation.
(e) Other Investments. If an Investment is not described above, the fair market value may be established through a competitive bidding process, as follows:
(1) At least 3 bids on the Investment must be received from persons with no financial interest in the Bonds (e.g., as underwriters or brokers); and
(2) the Yield on the Investment must be equal to or greater than the Yield offered under the highest bid.
Section 4.05 Certain Gross Proceeds Exempt from the Rebate Requirement.
(a) General. A portion of the Gross Proceeds of the Bonds may be exempt from rebate pursuant to one or more of the following exceptions. The exceptions typically will not apply with respect to all Gross Proceeds of the Bonds and will not otherwise affect the application of the Investment limitations described in Section 4.03. Unless specifically noted, the obligation to compute, and if necessary, to pay rebate as set forth in Section 4.06 applies even if a portion of the Gross Proceeds of the Bonds is exempt from the rebate requirement. To the extent all or a portion of the Bonds is exempt from rebate the Rebate Analyst may account for such fact in connection with its preparation of a rebate report described in Section 4.06. The Issuer may defer the final rebate Computation Date and the payment of rebate for the Bonds to the extent permitted by Regulations §§ 1.148-7(b)(1) and 1.148-3(e)(2) but only in accordance with specific written instructions provided by the Rebate Analyst.
(b) Applicable Spending Exceptions. The following optional rebate spending exceptions can apply to the Bonds: 6-month spending exception (Code § 148(f)(4)(B) and Regulations § 1.148-7(c)).
(c) Special Elections Made with Respect to Spending Exception Elections. No special elections are being made in connection with the application of the spending exceptions.
(d) Bona Fide Debt Service Fund. To the extent that the Debt Service Account qualifies as a Bona Fide Debt Service Fund, Investment earnings therein cannot be taken into account in computing arbitrage rebate: (1) with respect to such portion that meets the 6-month spending exception; or (2) for a given Bond Year, if the gross earnings on the Debt Service Account for such Bond Year are less than $100,000. If the average annual debt service on the Bonds does not exceed $2,500,000, the $100,000 earnings test may be treated as satisfied in every Bond Year.
(e) Documenting Application of Spending Exception. At any time prior to the first Computation Date, the Issuer may engage the Rebate Analyst to determine whether one or more spending exceptions has been satisfied, and the extent to which the Issuer must continue to comply with Section 4.06.
(f) General Requirements for Spending Exception. The following general requirements apply in determining whether a spending exception is met.
(1) Using Adjusted Gross Proceeds or Available Construction Proceeds to pay principal of any Bonds is not taken into account as an expenditure for purposes of meeting any of the spending tests.
219 (2) The 6-month spending exception generally is met if all Adjusted Gross Proceeds of the Bonds are spent within 6 months following the Issue Date. The test may still be satisfied even if up to 5% of the sale proceeds remain at the end of the initial 6-month period, so long as this amount is spent within 1 year of the Issue Date.
Section 4.06 Computation and Payment of Arbitrage Rebate.
(a) Rebate Fund. The Issuer will keep the Rebate Fund separate from all other funds and will administer the Rebate Fund under this Tax Certificate. Any Investment earnings derived from the Rebate Fund will be credited to the Rebate Fund, and any Investment loss will be charged to the Rebate Fund.
(b) Computation of Rebate Amount. The Issuer will provide the Rebate Analyst Investment reports relating to each fund held by it that contains Gross Proceeds of the Bonds together with copies of Investment reports for any funds containing Gross Proceeds that are held by a party other than the Issuer annually as of the end of each Bond Year and not later than 10 days following each Computation Date. Each Investment report provided to the Rebate Analyst will contain a record of each Investment, including (1) purchase date, (2) purchase price, (3) information establishing the fair market value on the date such Investment was allocated to the Bonds, (4) any accrued interest paid, (5) face amount, (6) coupon rate, (7) frequency of interest payments, (8) disposition price, (9) any accrued interest received, and (10) disposition date. Such records may be supplied in electronic form. The Rebate Analyst will compute rebate following each Computation Date and deliver a written report to the Issuer together with an opinion or certificate of the Rebate Analyst stating that arbitrage rebate was determined in accordance with the Regulations. Each report and opinion will be provided not later than 45 days following the Computation Date to which it relates. In performing its duties, the Rebate Analyst may rely, in its discretion, on the correctness of financial analysis reports prepared by other professionals. If the sum of the amount on deposit in the Rebate Fund and the value of prior rebate payments is less than the arbitrage rebate due, the Issuer will, within 55 days after such Computation Date, pay the amount of the deficiency for deposit into the Rebate Fund. If the sum of the amount on deposit in the Rebate Fund and the value of prior rebate payments is greater than the Rebate Amount the Issuer will transfer such surplus in the Rebate Fund to the Debt Service Account. After the final Computation Date or at any other time if the Rebate Analyst has advised the Issuer, any money left in the Rebate Fund will be paid to the Issuer and may be used for any purpose not prohibited by law.
(c) Rebate Payments. Within 60 days after each Computation Date, the Issuer will pay to the United States the rebate amount then due, determined in accordance with the Regulations. Each payment must be (1) accompanied by IRS Form 8038-T and such other forms, documents or certificates as may be required by the Regulations, and (2) mailed or delivered to the IRS at the address shown below, or to such other location as the IRS may direct:
Internal Revenue Service Center Ogden, UT 84201
(d) Successor Rebate Analyst. If the firm acting as the Rebate Analyst resigns or becomes incapable of acting for any reason, or if the Issuer desires that a different firm act as the Rebate Analyst, then the Issuer by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the firm then serving as the Rebate Analyst and any other party to this Tax Certificate, will name a successor Rebate Analyst. In each case the successor Rebate Analyst must be a firm of nationally recognized bond counsel or a firm of independent certified public accountants and such firm must expressly agree to undertake the responsibilities assigned to the Rebate Analyst hereunder.
220 (e) Filing Requirements. The Issuer will file or cause to be filed with the IRS such reports or other documents as are required by the Code in accordance with an Opinion of Bond Counsel.
(f) Survival after Defeasance. Notwithstanding anything in the Bond Resolution to the contrary, the obligation to pay arbitrage rebate to the United States will survive the payment or defeasance of the Bonds.

Section 5.02 Amendments. This Tax Certificate may be amended from time to time by the Issuer without notice to or the consent of any of the Bondowners, but only if such amendment is in writing and is accompanied by an Opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that, under then existing law, assuming compliance with this Tax Certificate as so amended and the Bond Resolution, such amendment will not cause any Bond to be an arbitrage bond under Code § 148 or otherwise cause interest on any Bond to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes. No amendment will become effective until the Issuer receives an Opinion of Bond Counsel, addressed to the Issuer that the amendment will not adversely affect the exclusion of the interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes.
Section 5.03 Opinion of Bond Counsel. The Issuer may deviate from the provisions of this Tax Certificate if furnished with an Opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that the proposed deviation will not adversely affect the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes.

Section 5.04 Reliance. In delivering this Tax Certificate the Issuer is making only those certifications, representations and agreements as are specifically attributed to them in this Tax Certificate.

On the Sale Date, the Purchaser reasonably expected that the fair market value of the Bonds was equal to the respective price for each maturity of the Bonds set forth on Schedule I attached to this Certificate, plus accrued interest (the “Offering Prices”). As of the Sale Date, the first prices at which the Purchaser reasonably expected that at least 10 percent of the principal amount of each such maturity of the Bonds would be sold to the Public are such Offering Prices and the Purchaser had no reason to believe that any of the Bonds would be sold at prices greater, or yields less, than such Offering Prices.

CERTIFICATE OF BIDDING AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE PURCHASE OF AN OPEN-MARKET YIELD-RESTRICTED DEFEASANCE ESCROW FOR
$9,865,000* UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 373, HARVEY COUNTY, KANSAS (NEWTON), KANSAS GENERAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING BONDS SERIES 2013 DATED JUNE 1, 2013
Causey Demgen & Moore P.C. (the “Bidding Agent”) certifies as follows in connection with the purchase by Unified School District No. 373, Harvey County, Kansas (Newton), Kansas (the “Issuer”) of a portfolio of investments for a yield-restricted defeasance escrow (the “Investments”) from Bank of America/Merrill Lynch (the “Provider”) relating to the above captioned bonds (the “Bonds”):
A Bona Fide Solicitation for Bids. The Bidding Agent made a bona fide solicitation for the Investments, using the following procedures:
(1) The bid specifications were in writing and were timely forwarded to potential providers, or were made available on an internet website or other similar electronic media that is regularly used to post bid specifications to potential bidders. A writing includes a hard copy, a fax, or an electronic e-mail copy. A copy of the bid specifications is attached to this Certificate as Schedule 1.
(2) The bid specifications include all “material” terms of the bid. The Bidding Agent understands that a term is material if it may directly or indirectly affect the yield or the cost of the Investments.
(3) The bid specifications include a statement notifying potential providers (a) that submission of a bid is a representation that the bidder did not consult with any other potential provider about its bid, (b) that the bid was determined without regard to any other formal or informal agreement that the bidder has with the Issuer or any other person (whether or not in connection with the bond issue), and (c) that the bid is not being submitted solely as a courtesy to the Issuer or any other person for purposes of satisfying the requirements of the U.S. Treasury regulations governing the fair-market-value of investments purchased with tax-exempt bond proceeds.
(4) The terms of the bid specifications are “commercially reasonable.” The Bidding Agent understands a term is commercially reasonable if there is a legitimate business purpose for the term other than to increase the purchase price or reduce the yield of the investment.
(5) All potential providers had an equal opportunity to bid. If the bidding process affords any opportunity for a potential provider to review other bids before providing a bid, then providers have an equal opportunity to bid only if all potential providers have an equal opportunity to review other bids. Thus, no potential provider may be given an opportunity to
237
review other bids that is not equally given to all potential providers (that is no exclusive “last look”).
(6) At least 3 “reasonably competitive providers” were solicited for bids. The Bidding Agent understands that a reasonably competitive provider is a provider that has an established industry reputation as a competitive provider of the type of investments being purchased.
B. Bids Received.
(1) The Bidding Agent received at least 3 bids from providers that were solicited under the bid specifications and that do not have a material financial interest in the issue. The Bidding Agent understands that (a) a lead underwriter in a negotiated underwriting transaction is deemed to have a material financial interest in the issue until 15 days after the issue date of the issue; (b) any entity acting as a financial advisor with respect to the purchase of the Investments at the time the bid specifications are forwarded to potential providers has a material financial interest in the issue; and (c) a provider that is a related party to a provider that has a material financial interest in the issue is deemed to have a material financial interest in the issue. Attached to this Certificate as Schedule 2 is a list of all of the solicited bidders and a copy of each of the bids actually received along with the date and time of day the bids were received.
(2) At least one of the 3 bids is from a reasonably competitive provider, as described above.
(3) The Bidding Agent did not bid to provide the Investments.
C. Winning Bid.
(1) The winning bid is the lowest cost bona fide bid (including any Bidding Agent’s fees) for the Investments, taking into account any payment received by the Issuer from a provider at the time a guaranteed investment contract is purchased (e.g., an escrow float contract).
(2) The winning bid (including any Bidding Agent’s fees) is not greater than the cost of the most efficient portfolio comprised exclusively of State and Local Government Series Securities from the United States Department of the Treasury, Bureau of Public Debt. The cost of such portfolio was determined at the time that bids were required to be submitted under the bid specifications. The structure and cost of such portfolio are shown on Schedule 3 attached to this Certificate.
D. Bidding Agent Commission. The amount of gross proceeds initially invested in the Investments is $7,253,104.22. The Provider is paying the Bidding Agent a commission of $3,750.

6. Approval of Schools for Fair Funding Membership for 2013-14
USD 373 has been a long-standing member and supporter of Schools for Fair Funding, a consortium of school districts that share these common goals: Stop the funding cuts to education Restore the funding which has been cut Protect the basic structure of the current school finance formula Restore the equity to the formula which has been underfunded (capital outlay and LOB equalization), and Fund the formula The Schools for Fair Funding (SFFF) membership fees for the 2013-14 school year are a part of this year’s budget. As part of the budgeting process, $25,000 was budgeted and the assessment amount is $21,613.31. The base member dues are $11,728.15 and are based on full-time equivalent enrollment (excluding 4-year old at-risk) and the litigation support is $9,885.16 and is also based on enrollment.
I completely support the district remaining a member of SFFF and recommend that the board approve the expenditure of funds for that purpose.
I am including a letter I sent to you last year regarding this matter. I did not write another one as I believe I said all I can say on this matter. I hope that you will agree to stay in the fight for Kansas kids.
Administrative Recommendation
The administration recommends that the board continue full membership in Schools for Fair Funding by approving the payment of membership dues in the amount of $21,613.31 for the 2013-14 school year.
Board Action
I move to approve full membership in Schools for Fair Funding for 2013-14 as presented.
247 TO: Newton Board of Education
FROM: Deb Hamm
DATE: April 17, 2012
RE: Schools for Fair Funding
I recognize that my thoughts on the matter of Schools for Fair Funding may not assist in the healing of the board and may in fact intensify feelings. However, I do not feel that I can remain silent on this issue.
I began my teaching career in 1989. I blissfully went through the first three years of my career unaware of the financial considerations of Category 4 schools. I was not aware that school districts that were larger or smaller were able to provide technology, sports opportunities, advanced classes, and even persuade highly effective teachers to choose to live and work in those communities because of money.
In 1992, I began learning about school finance. It became quickly apparent to me that all was not fair in tax dollars and equal education. I don’t remember exactly what the tax rate was that USD 373 patrons were paying at that time and if I had additional time, I would look it up; but I do remember that our tax rate was one of the highest in the state. Now, that might not have seemed so bad to me except that my children attended Newton Public Schools instead of Hesston Public Schools. Don’t get me wrong; my children had wonderful teachers and lots of opportunities here. But if we had chosen to live somewhere else, small or large, they might have had opportunities that they didn’t have here – I didn’t think and don’t think that should matter to our children.
Public education is one of the institutions that our forefathers chose to support. Those insightful men understood that an educated populace was going to be required for the republic they created to continue.
We could spend a great deal of time arguing tax policy, whether taxpayer dollars should be used to fund lawsuits, and even whether or not there is any return for our dollars. However, it is not about tax policy to me. It is not about whether MY tax dollars are supporting a suit against my elected officials. It is not whether or not I see a dollar for dollar return for my money. It is about advocating for Kansas kids – all Kansas kids. My hope is that Newton kids will benefit from the efforts of school districts like Newton that will step out and fight for kids who do not have a voice in the legislature.
Years ago, one Newton USD 373 Board of Education decided that enough was enough when promises of legislators to improve funding for schools when years
248 were good vanished even as revenues increased. Many boards since then have continued the fight – the fight for Newton kids, the fight for Harvey County kids, the fight for Kansas kids. And over time, two lawsuits have been won. Newton kids won, Harvey County kids won, and yes, Kansas kids, supported by Newton tax dollars won! Would they have won without Newton Public Schools in the fight? Maybe. I guess we will never know. Would Newton boards of education refused to accept funds that they had not fought to receive? Likely not. Would the legislature have ever come through for Newton schools, Newton kids, and the kids of Kansas? I don’t know; but the collective track record of the legislatures over time would indicate the answer is no.
Our forefathers designed a system of government that included a judicial branch. They understood that when disagreements could not be settled there needed to be a system for the government or the public to seek adjudication. If our forefathers had thought that citizens should just let the rulers lead and not fight back, we might still be under English rule.
Past superintendents have represented this community and our kids in this fight. More than one community member has been in the fight – sending letters, making calls, and making trips to Topeka. And, John Robb, has fought the fight for Kansas kids. Yes, his firm has received payment for his services. He has represented the Newton school district, and districts around the state, with professionalism and a passion for doing what is right for kids. I commend his efforts to stay in a thankless fight and I am pretty sure it didn’t have as much to do with the money as with the principle of suitable and adequate public education.
Extreme circumstances require extreme measures. I don’t think quitting now for the short-term benefit of field trips or athletics is worth not being in the fight – not doing everything we can to support our kids – Kansas kids. Out of my three children one works for Cargill in Wichita, one works for Swiss RE in Overland Park, and one works for Star Credit Union in Wichita. All of them pay taxes in this state. Their children do or will attend Maize Public Schools, Newton Public Schools, and Blue Valley Public Schools. They were educated in Newton at a time when funding was not providing an adequate education. Their children should attend schools, no matter what section of the state in which their parents reside, that are supported by all Kansans. I don’t know whether they will live and pay taxes in Newton or even in Kansas. But I do know the state and country will benefit from the education that they receive. These cousins deserve to have similar educational opportunities. I hope that you will decide to stay in the fight – for Newton kids, for Kansas kids.

ITEMS FOR DECISION
8. Pay to Play
It has been requested to have this item placed on the agenda for decision.
All expenditures for athletics are paid for from the general fund. Athletic expenditures are approximately 2.5% of general fund expenditures.
There are multiple possibilities for decisions on this matter: 1. Leave the fees as they are. 2. Leave the fees as they are and establish a maximum amount families would pay. 3. Reduce the fees. 4. Eliminate the fees.
Any action other than leaving the fees the same for 2013-14 will result in a reduction of revenue of approximately $56,000.
Handouts from the February and March Board of Education meetings are included in your packet.

256 The information below is from the district website.
Is there a sports fee to be able to participate? Yes, there is a sport fee. The fees are assessed according to reduced/free lunch status at the time fees are paid, provided there is a signed waiver on file.
Fees are as follows PER sport:
. Newton High School and Chisholm Middle School: $50.00 . NHS and CMS Reduced Lunch: $40.00 . NHS and CMS Free Lunch: $30.00
Please note; any student who chooses to participate in two (2) sports/activities in the same season will pay for each activity.
When does the sport fee need to be paid by? The sport fee must be paid by the end of the first week of practice. If it isnot paid by then, the athlete will not be allowed to practice with the team. The fee may be turned in during enrollment or to the district athletic secretary, located at the high school. If your student is in middle school, you may turn in your sport fee to the secretary at Chisholm.
Please Note: The exception is for our teams that have tryouts: Spirit Groups (cheer team and dance team), HS Bowling; MS Volleyball and MS Boys and Girls Basketball. Their sport fees are due the day after the athlete is notified they have made the team.
What is the purpose of the sport fee? The sport fee is a program designed to supplement the athletic budgets of the USD 373 high/middle schools. It will allow the district to continue to offer the same athletic programs offered in the past.
What is the policy for a refund? Kansas State High School Activities Association's (KSHSAA) bylaws, discipline policies of USD 373, and individual high/middle schools' and coaches’/sponsors’ rules will be observed by all participants. Failure to meet these regulations or to complete the activity for any reason other than being cut during tryouts will result in the forfeiture of all fees.

2013-14 Student Agenda
Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) Newton High School has been selected to participate in a school-to-career transition program for high school seniors called JAG. Jobs for America’s Graduates is a state-based non-profit organization dedicated to preventing dropouts among young people who are most at-risk. The primary mission of the JAG program is to keep young people in high school through graduation and to provide an array of counseling, employability skills development, career association, job development, and job placement services that will result in either a quality job leading to a career after graduation and/or enrollment in a postsecondary education and training program. The program targets incoming high school seniors who are believed to be at risk of not completing high school or successfully transitioning into postsecondary schooling or the labor market because of academic, economic, family and personal barriers. The program will select 25-35 students to enable them to achieve all requirements for graduation and then to transition after graduation to a positive destination in the form of a job, postsecondary education or the military. p.44 ------

263 A Message from the Principal Administration Dear Students and Parents We are so glad to have you with us for the 2013-14 school year at CMS. We are happy that you join our family of staff, students, and parents as we continue our journey together as a successful 7th/8th grade center. We will learn that in all aspects of our life we can excel if we put forth effort and are willing to be persistent in our actions. Please know that the staff welcomes your input and support. We encourage you to stop by the office at any time to share your thoughts or express any concerns. This handbook is designed to make you aware of the school policies that are necessary for operating a safe and orderly learning environment. Please review these expectations as a family to help eliminate misunderstandings during the school year. SUCCESS-THE ONLY OPTION guides the belief and practices of the CMS staff. Communication is an essential ingredient. Our students are the first priority in all we do to offer the best education possible. Welcome!! ¡Bienvenida!! Vicki Rivero, Principal Vicki Rivero, Don Cameron, Chris Headrick
GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR STUDENT BEHAVIOR
Student discipline for middle school is based on the belief that middle school age students are capable of making good choices concerning their behavior and that these choices protect the rights of others, particularly as it relates to a safe and orderly environment. It is the intent of the CMS staff to provide a safe and orderly environment for every student. It is the obligation of all staff members and students to cooperate toward this end. No person in our school should commit, act or behave in such a manner that would be offensive to others. Such acts or behavior would include, but are not be limited to: loud, boisterous conduct; spitting; using foul or abusive language; pushing, shoving, slapping, "play fighting," “horseplay,” running or throwing objects.
BUILDING LEVEL RULES
• Students SHOULD NOT bring personal possessions to school that are not appropriate for normal school operations. (Examples include radios, CD’s, CD players, headsets, toys, games, etc.) These items will be confiscated if they are observed during the school day. Parents will need to pick them up from an administrator at school. The school is not responsible for any lost or stolen possessions of this nature. • Cell phones may be carried in clothing pocket, a trapper or purse. These items may be used ONLY with teacher permission during the class. Items may be turned on and used before the first bell and after the school day ends unless students are involved in H2O or an after school activity. If a cell phone is heard during class or is seen by a teacher, the phone will be consficated. Parents will need to make arrangements to pick up phones from one of the administrators and students may lose the privilege of bringing a cell phone to school. The school is not responsible for any lost or stolen cell phones when students choose to bring them to school. • Students will not write on or otherwise deface or damage lockers, walls, desks, or other school property. These acts, along with kicking or slamming fists into lockers, will be treated as acts of vandalism. • Students will not litter the halls, classrooms or the building grounds. • Fighting: The penalty for fights off campus will be the same as for fighting on campus, if it is determined that the fight was prearranged on campus. “Horseplay” will be subject to the same penalties as fighting because this type of rambunctious behavior too often leads to injuries. • Throwing snowballs on school property when other people are near can be dangerous; it can also result in injury. Therefore, students are NOT ALLOWED to throw snowballs/snow on school grounds. Throwing snowballs at vehicles is strictly prohibited. • Students will conduct themselves in an appropriate manner when they are in the building. Students are not allowed to go to lockers or be in classrooms before 8:00 a.m. and must be out of the buildings by 3:25 p.m. unless staying with a teacher or participating in a school sponsored activity. Students should be off the school grounds by 3:30 p.m. unless participating in a school-sponsored activity. Students may enter the cafeteria for breakfast beginning at 7:45 a.m. • Students are not to bring food items such as pop or sunflower seeds to school. Food items purchased at
264 school are not to be taken out of the cafeteria. • Staff will determine appropriate student access and/or use of all computers. Complete compliance is expected when students use computers in our building. • Students will not ‘double up’ or otherwise change their locker assignment use their locker only. • Every adult in this building will address inappropriate behaviors. The principal or assistant principal will determine discipline consequences for all students sent to the office with a referral. • Inappropriate Public Display of Affection will result in consequences related to frequency of problem. • A student kicking a locker will be sent to the office after giving a warning. Kicking a locker could be handled as vandalism. • Throwing objects in the building or outside of the building can lead to damage of school property, cars, or even people. Please do not throw any items while on school property, including, but not limited to rocks, snowballs, etc.
MORNING GUIDELINES The purpose of the early morning supervision in gyms is to provide a safe place for students to wait for the beginning of the school day. If the following guidelines are not followed, students may lose this opportunity for a short or extended period of time. We offer this service to help our families. • Railer West area opened each school day from 7:45 a.m. until the bell rings at 8:00 a.m. for 8th grade. • Railer East area opened each school day from 7:45 a.m. until the bell rings at 8:00 7:55a.m. for 7th grade. • Upon entering the area, students will be expected to sit in grade assigned seating areas of the bleachers and must be visible to supervising staff. • All school rules apply before school. Any food/snacks/breakfast or drinks must be consumed BEFORE entering these areas. If you send breakfast with your young person please have them report to the cafeteria or the office to consume any food or drinks. • Students will be expected to talk quietly since some students utilize this time to complete homework. • Students are not allowed to enter the PE locker rooms before the first bell. • Students needing assistance should contact the supervising staff.
BICYCLE REGULATIONS-Discipline policy will be followed if students fail to comply.
Bicycles must NOT be ridden on the sidewalks, the school grounds or parking areas. • Students are NOT to ride bikes on campus during the school day. • Upon arriving at school all bikes must be parked and locked in racks provided. • Bicycles should be pushed rather than ridden on school grounds for the safety of those walking • Students should make sure their bikes are locked in the bicycle racks. The school is NOT responsible for theft or damage. Our district does not carry insurance for this purpose. Stolen bicycles might not be retrieved, though families may file a police report with the school resource officer.
DRESS CODE-Students are expected to dress appropriately for school every day.
School Administration will decide if clothing is extreme or inappropriate for school. • Students will not wear clothing with suggestive words or pictures. Shirts must be long enough to cover the beltline so that the torso is not visible. Tank tops with large armholes and/or low necklines may not be worn unless another appropriate shirt is worn underneath. Girls should not wear shirts that have spaghetti straps or racer shirt styles. Tank tops should be at least an inch wide. • Hats may not be worn in the building. • The style of wearing pants or shorts known as "sagging" is not permitted in our building. Students will be required to use a belt or rope to tighten the waistband to insure clothing remains around a student's waist. • Students are asked to use discretion when choosing shorts. Shorts must reach the end of a person’s fingertips as arms are held down the side of the body with open hands. Likewise skirts, dresses, holy jeans or any clothing item with a slit must meet the same guideline. • No clothing with alcohol, or tobacco or drug logos may be worn. • Extreme styles of dress, makeup, or hair color will not be accepted. Appearance that is distracting to the learning environment is unacceptable. • School officials will make the final determinations about appropriate appearance. Students will be
265 directed to change into clean clothing provided in the office, unless they have a gym suit or other appropriate clothing readily available. • It is suggested that students inquire to administrators or teachers before wearing clothes they suspect may not meet the guidelines.
Cafeteria Rules It is our hope that the breakfast and lunch periods will provide a time when students can socialize with one another and relax. In order for everyone to enjoy their meal in a safe and orderly environment, all students must obey the following rules. Discipline policy will be followed for failure to comply with rules. The lunch period is a ‘closed cafeteria.’ Only with permission, will students be allowed to leave school during meal time. • Students may go through the lunch line once and should get all needed items at that time. Once students sit down they will not be allowed to return. They should raise a hand and a supervisor will get the forgotten item/s. • There will be a maximum of 6 to a table in the cafeteria. When lining up to leave the cafeteria, students will be in a single file line and not moving around in the area to visit with other students. • Students will remain at designated tables until dismissed by lunchtime supervisor. • Students will not get up and move about during mealtime without permission from the lunchtime supervisor. • Students must check with one of the supervisors before leaving the cafeteria for any reason. • Lunch tables and the surrounding areas should be left clean – all paper, excess food, etc, should be placed in the trash cans. Teachers will assign two students each week to clean the tables and all students will take turns helping out. • Students may not take food out of the cafeteria. • Appropriate table manners and speech volume are expected. • No running in the cafeteria; no throwing food; no saving seats at your table. • Leave food alone that belongs to other students; do not play with food; do not ask for food from others. • If food is accidentally spilled, alert one of the custodians and help clean up any mess.
Meal Ticket
It is the student’s responsibility to notify parents that additional money is needed. • Online Payments for Meals – Using the Infinite Campus parent portal, parents are now able to make online payments for student meals. Credit cards and e-checks will be accepted. Using the portal eliminates the need to send cash or checks with a student to school and provides parents a simple way to stay on top of school lunch accounts. • A parent portal account is required to access the features listed above. To obtain a parent portal account, please contact your child’s school office. • Cash or checks must be in an envelope with the student’s name and amount labeled on the front. Envelopes are available at the front desk by the slot that these payments are to be placed in. The money is kept in a family account. Money turned in by 9:00 a.m. is credited on the same day. • Checks should be made payable to USD #373. • Only two (2) charges will be allowed unless special arrangements are made with the Food Services personnel. • Students will have had four warnings by the time they have two charges. It is the students responsibility to notify parents that additional money is needed. Statements will be provided to students as their account reaches $5.00 and below. These statements are provided once a week. • Students with 2 charges and no money will be offered a peanut butter cheese sandwich and milk. Students may not purchase items from the A-la-Carte line while they have unpaid charges. using their account if their account has unpaid charges on it. They may however purchase A-la-Carte items with cash.
266 Student Discipline Plan for Middle Schools
When problems are recognized with a student’s behavior, the discipline guidelines provide objective guidance for school administrators as they handle appropriate consequences. We believe the points will provide each student a measurable indicator of their accumulated rule infractions. The goal of the point system at the middle school is to correct undesirable behaviors that distract from the learning environment. An effective discipline plan applied fairly and consistently will provide a safe, orderly, and productive environment. Each rule infraction has a “point value” assigned to the student behaviors, along with administrative consequence to be enforced for each behavior. When a student accumulates twenty-five points, a mandatory conference will be held involving the student, parents, administration, and others as appropriate. A second conference occurs once 50 points are accumulated. The purpose of these meetings is to communicate what type of behavior has been exhibited, what long-term consequences may occur should this behavior continue, and what support is required from the school and parents to improve behavior and encourage academic success. When a student accumulates seventy-five points, a formal hearing will be held to recommend removal of the student from further attendance in our district. Points accumulate on a yearly basis. If a student is removed from school attendance for a period of time less than the end of a school year, the student returns to school with a balance of forty-five points. • 25 points – Students reaching a total of 25 points will have a parent conference with the administrator and others deemed appropriate. • 50 points – Students reaching a total of 50 points will have a parent conference with the administrator and others deemed appropriate. • 75 points – Students reaching a total of 75 points will have a hearing scheduled and possible long- term suspension or expulsion from school will be recommended.
Possible Disciplinary Actions: Children and their parents must be aware that inappropriate behaviors result in consequences to be determined by the principal, who may consult with the teacher involved. The consequences could include: • Administrative Conference The building principal or assistant principal meets with the student to develop positive behaviors. The conference may include parents, guardians, and/or faculty, as well as the student. • Extended Day Program (office detentions) Time after school may be assigned for violations of the school rules. This may be assigned for any of the violations listed in the “General Guidelines” or the District Discipline Plan. Extended school day assignments will take precedence over school activities such as sports or other personal activities. As part of the extended day program students will work through activities that address behaviors. Failure to report for this time will be counted as truant hours. • In School Suspension Students are placed in a supervised area for a specific length of time. Assignments from teachers are requested for the student by the office. Students are not allowed to talk in this setting and must remain focused on work. If behaviors continue, students will be sent home. • Saturday School Saturday Detention is an approved discipline measure that may be assigned by the administrative team as a consequence for identified behavior violations. 1. These detentions will generally be between 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. 2. No food, drinks, sleeping or visiting will be allowed. Any disruptions may result in increased length of time served. 3. Students will be expected to complete assigned tasks related to their specific misbehavior and then will be able to complete homework. The principal or detention teacher will make the determination for each student. 4. Failure to report for Saturday Detention will result in further disciplinary action as deemed appropriate by the principal. Hours assigned as a result of behavior or academic concerns are considered to be part of the compulsory attendance policy. Hours not served will be recorded as unexcused truant hours. Names are turned in to appropriate authorities (DCF-Department of Children and Families formerly known as SRS) when 35 hours are compiled.
267 • Short-Term Suspension This suspension is a period of time, not to exceed 10 day; a student may be removed from school.

Sexual harassment is illegal. It is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and may constitute sexual abuse under Kansas statutes. This policy applies to males or females, including same sex harassment. This policy is applicable to students while on school premises and while participating in off- campus school sponsored activities. Sexual harassment of any student in the district by board members, administrators, certified and support personnel, students, vendors, and any others having business or other contact with the school district is strictly prohibited. Sexual harassment is unwelcome sexual advances, request for sexual favors, or other inappropriate oral, written, or physical conduct of a sexual nature when: 1. Submission to such conduct is made, explicitly or implicitly, term or condition of an individual’s education. 2. Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as a basis for academic decision affecting that individual. 3. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of interfering with an individual’s school performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment.
270 Sexual harassment may include, but is not limited to: verbal or written harassment or abuse, including teasing, jokes, posters, graffiti, pictures or cartoons; written notes, letters or computer messages of a sexual nature; pressure for sexual activity; remarks with sexual or demeaning implication; unwelcome touching, patting, pinching, hugging or brushing against another’s body; unwelcome following or stalking; suggesting or demanding sexual involvement accompanied by implied or explicit threats or promises concerning a student’s grades, participation in extra-curricular or other activities, sexual assault or battery as defined by current law. The fact that someone did not intend to sexually harass an individual is not considered a defense to a complaint of sexual harassment. In most cases, it is the effect and characteristics of the behavior that determine if the behavior constitutes sexual harassment. Additionally, when others are offended by behaviors or spoken words, it will be defined as harassment. By definition, the reaction of the victim determines whether harassment has occurred. When acts of sexual harassment or other violations of this policy are substantiated, appropriate action will be taken against the individual. Disciplinary actions will be taken according to the district’s discipline plan. Individuals who harass may be held personally liable under civil suits. Any student may file a formal complaint of sexual harassment with any staff member. Complaints must be put in writing and are normally addressed to the building principal.

It shall be a violation of this policy for any student, employee or third party (visitor, vendor, etc.) to sexually harass any student, employee or other individual associated with the school. It shall further be a violation for any employee to discourage a student from filing a complaint, or to fail to investigate or refer for investigation, any complaint lodged under the provisions of this policy. Sexual harassment is unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other inappropriate oral, written or physical conduct of a sexual nature when made by a member of the school staff to a student or when made by any student to another student when: (1) submission to such conduct is made, explicitly or implicitly, a term or condition of the individual's education; (2) submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for academic decisions affecting that individual; or (3) such conduct has the purpose or effect of interfering with an individual's academic or professional performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive academic environment.

COMMUNICATION/GRADES
Parent Teacher Conferences Parent/teacher conferences are planned for all students once each semester; during the first nine week period and the third nine week period. Parents may also call the school to schedule a conference with the team whenever a need arises. Remember to visit our website (www.newton.k12.ks.us/sch/cms) to find e-mail addresses for all staff members. CHANGE OF ADDRESS OR CONTACT INFORMATION It is important that the school be able to reach parents or guardians of students in case of emergency or to mail home information. Please keep this information current by notifying our office of any changes. It is important that we have emergency contact information as well in case your child is ill, hurt, or involved in a disciplinary action. USE OF SCHOOL PHONES Office telephones are for business use primarily. Students will be given 24 hour notice of detentions, so there should be few reasons why students need to call parents to arrange rides. Plans for after school activities need to be made at home. We will assist your children but do not expect students to regularly use the phone at the end of the school day. Honor Roll Policy A student must be enrolled in a minimum of seven (7) units per day unless excused from physical education for health reasons. Principal’s Honor Roll shall consist of students whose grade point average is 3.50 or higher. Principal’s Honorable Mention shall consist of students whose grade point average is 3.00 to 3.49. A grade of “D” or lower in any subject disqualifies a student for both honor roll and of each semester.
ACADEMIC PROGRESS Students and parents will have available formal records of their child’s grades approximately every four-five weeks on eight occasions throughout the school year. Parents are also welcome to call teachers during planning periods, before school or after school to inquire about their child’s progress. With technology, mailing progress reports are no longer necessary. Parents can check online. The final grade card will be mailed home approximately one week after the end of the school year provided the textbooks, library books, and other school items checked out to the student have been returned. Fees for lost books or fines must be paid prior to the grade cards being released. In addition, all parents will receive a “User ID” and “password” to have access to school information, including teacher grade books through INFINITE CAMPUS. This system allows parents to access records related to attendance, discipline and current grades. The system will reflect an accurate record of current student academic progress. INFINITE CAMPUS CAN BE ACCESSED ON OUR SCHOOL’S WEBSITE www.newton.k12.ks.us/sch/cms or at www.newton.k12.ks.us, the district website.
PARENT PORTAL ACCESS
Infinite Campus is the student information system used by Newton USD 373 schools. One of the features of Infinite Campus is the parent portal. Using a school-issued activation code, legal parents/guardians can access student attendance, grades, assignments, members, or separate portal accounts may be created upon request. The Infinite Campus Parent Portal is accessed through the Newton USD 373 website, www.newton.k12.ks.us> Infinite Campus>Infinite Campus Portal Link. A tutorial is available at the Infinite Campus Portal Link for instructions on how to use the portal. We are also more than happy to have parents stop in for personal assistance or demonstration. This tool is a wonderful way to be informed about your children. For more information on how to obtain a portal activation code, or if you have an existing parent portal account and
277 need assistance, please contact our office at 284-6260. Infinite Campus can also be accessed on our school’s website www.newton.k12.ks.us/sch/cms. HOMEWORK POLICY
Homework is an essential part of the school program at CMS. The quality and quantity of the homework assignment will vary and relate to the content of classroom instruction and shall supplement its purpose and objectives We believe that supporting students to succeed is our mission. We do not believe in allowing students the choice to fail. When assignments are made, it is the expectation that those assignments be turned in when they are due. Frequently, students are provided in class time to work on assignments so many students will not have excessive homework if they choose to use time wisely during the school day. Partial credit may be given for late assignments. There are opportunities for students to improve their grades. Even the most responsible students make mistakes, so students will be given one "Oops Pass" per core class for each quarter. This pass will allow students to receive full credit for one late assignment in each of his/her core classes (Math, Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, Writing and Technology). To receive full credit, the pass must be attached to the assignment when it is handed in and turned in before the end of the unit/chapter of study. Full credit will be refused to students attaching passes that are not complete (for example, a pass where the original class name has been torn off). Following an excused absence, all students are allowed two calendar days to complete assigned work for the first day absent, and one calendar day for each subsequent day of absence. For example, if a student misses school on Tuesday, then returns on Wednesday, all work must be turned in by Friday. Students are responsible to ask for the work they have missed or to comply with individual teacher expectations to collect work or get questions answered if they miss the initial instruction. Students need to be held accountable for getting their homework before they leave for any school sponsored activity (sports, contests, music practice, etc). Students are to get homework before school sponsored events. Failure to comply with this expectation could lead to a failing grade supported by the office.
ATTENDANCE
Attendance Policy
Regular attendance at school is important for a student’s success. Students are expected to be at school every day and report to class on time. This is a legal obligation as well as a school expectation. Tardies Late arrival to school is always discouraged. However, we realize that circumstances beyond your control can sometimes cause a student to be tardy to school. Because of this, the following tardy policy has been established: Students are allotted four ‘free tardies’ each quarter. Beginning with the fifth tardy, students will be assigned to serve 20 minutes per tardy during Saturday School. A minimum of 30 minutes will be assigned. Absences Students are expected to attend school full time except in the cases of illness or extreme family emergency. Parents are asked to notify the school office (284-6260) before 9:00 a.m. in the event a student must be absent from school. In addition, parents are asked to send a note to school stating why the student did not report to school. It is essential that a doctor note be provided when students miss three or more consecutive days. Kansas statutes define truancy as three consecutive days of unexcused absences, five days in a semester, seven days in a year or 35 hours. Once these guidelines are met, we are diligent in reporting the names of our students to SRS and/or the district attorney’s office. Please note also that students are required by law to provide a medical note if returning to school following an absence of three consecutive days or whenever doctor’s notes are available. We encourage families to provide medical documentation for all time that is missed after seven days of absence. Once students accumulate 12-15 absences, we will no longer excuse students based on only a parental phone call; we will require a doctor’s note. If a significant health concern is not documented, we will report excessive absences to appropriate authorities. Parents will be notified to pick up students if they have a temperature or have been injured. Anyone with a temperature of 100 or higher cannot remain in school. We do encourage that you keep children home if they are running a fever of 100.0 or higher or have vomited within 8 hours. Children may return to school after being
278 fever-free for 24 hours, without the use of anti fever medication. When diagnosed with contagious conditions such as ‘pink eye’ or ‘strep throat,’ they may return after 24 hours of prescribed antibiotic treatment. Check Out From School In those cases where a parent’s request for dismissal during the school day is granted, the student must sign out in the office. Parents are asked to send a note requesting that their child be permitted to sign-out as in advance whenever possible. The student should present this note to the office at the beginning of the school day. Without prior notice from a parent or guardian, school officials will not permit a student to sign out, except in emergencies. If a student returns to school on the same day, the student must sign back in. Check-out for Medical appointments or illness Students with medical appointments should bring a note to school and present it before class begins in the morning. The student should then keep the note to show the teacher at the time of check out. The student will turn the note in to the office at the time they leave school. Students who become ill during the day must check out through the office. No student will be permitted to excuse themselves for health reasons. Strict enforcement of this rule is necessary for the protection of all students. No student is permitted to leave school for any reason during school hours without prior approval from office personnel. Students who do so will face disciplinary action. Excuse for contagious diseases A physician’s permit may be required for readmission of a student after having an illness. Since the student will be returning directly to the classroom after an absence, it will be necessary for the teacher to check with the office to see if a permit will be required for that student. The nurse will be available if there is any question. Medication guidelines ALL medications must be checked by the school nurse. Prescription medication must be accompanied by a written order from the doctor, as well as a parental signature. This includes inhalers that are self- administered. Non-prescription medication must have a note signed by parents. This includes cough drops, Tylenol, etc. In order to assure safety for all students, please keep in mind that disciplinary actions will be taken whenever a student has ‘pills’ in pockets, trappers, purses, etc. All medications must be in the original container and labeled with the student’s name. We will gladly dispense medication, as needed, to students in our health office.

Excessive tardies will be dealt with by the staff and administration on an individual basis. Check Out From School In those cases where a parent’s request for dismissal during the school day is granted, the parent must sign the student out in the office. The student should present this note to the office at the beginning of the school day. Without prior notice from a parent or guardian, school officials will not permit a student to leave the building without a guardian. If a student returns to school on the same day, the student must sign back in to the front office. • Students with medical appointments should bring a note to the front office first thing in the morning to obtain a pass to leave class at the time of the appointment. • Parents will be notified to pick up students if they have a temperature or have been injured. Anyone with a temperature of 100 or higher cannot remain in school. • Students who become ill during the day must check out through the office. The nurse or school official will call parents to come pick up students. Students are not allowed to call home without permission. No student will be permitted to excuse himself/herself for health reasons.

Students who do so will face disciplinary action. Contagious Diseases A physician’s permit may be required for readmission of a student after having such an illness. Since the student will be returning directly to the classroom after an absence, it will be necessary for the teacher to check with the office to see if a permit will be required for that student. The nurse will be available if there is any question. Health Guidelines Please keep your child at home if they are running a fever of 99.6 or above or have vomited in the past 8 hours.

4 283 BUILDING LEVEL RULES General Guidelines for Student Behavior Student discipline is based on the belief that fifth and sixth grade students are capable of making good choices concerning their behavior and that these choices protect the rights of others, particularly as it relates to a safe and orderly environment. It is the intent of the staff of Santa Fe to provide a safe and orderly environment for every student. It is the obligation of all staff members and students to cooperate toward this end. No person in our school should behave in such a manner that would be offensive to others. Such behaviors would include, but are not be limited to: loud, boisterous conduct; spitting; using inappropriate or bullying language; pushing, shoving, slapping; "play fighting," “horseplay,” running or throwing objects. • Electronics such as cell phones, MP3 players, handheld games, etc. may only be used outside the school building, after the school day has ended. These items should remain in lockers or backpacks during the school day and are not allowed in classrooms. These items will be confiscated and parents will need to pick them up at school. If problems arise due to cell phone usage, the student will lose their privilege to bring a cell phone to school. Interruptions of class caused by cell phones will be considered inappropriate behavior. • Students will not write on or otherwise deface lockers, walls, desks, or other school property. These acts, along with kicking or slamming fists into lockers, will be treated as acts of vandalism. • “Horseplay” will be subject to the same penalties as fighting because this type of rambunctious behavior too often leads to injuries. • Throwing snowballs at school or any place when other people are near can be dangerous; it can also result in damaged property. Therefore, for the safety of students and the protection of school property, students are not allowed to throw snowballs/snow on campus. Throwing snowballs at vehicles is prohibited. • No students should arrive to campus before 7:30 am. Students may enter the cafeteria at 7:30 a.m. to eat school breakfast. All other students need to report to Lindley Hall if they arrive before 7:50. Students are not permitted in the buildings before the bell at 7:50 a.m. without a pass and must be out of the building by 3:20 p.m. unless staying with a teacher. Students should be off campus by 3:30 p.m. • Students are not to bring food items such as pop, gum, candy, and sunflower seeds to school. • All students must sign and adhere to the district’s Acceptable Use Policy. Staff will determine appropriate student access and/or use of all computers. • Animals/pets should not be brought to school by students or parents. • Parents may call the school but are not allowed personal phones calls to students during the school day except in the case of a family emergency. Bicycle/Skateboard/Rollerblade Regulations Bicycles, skateboards and roller blades may not be ridden on the sidewalks, the school campus, or parking areas. • For the safety of those walking, bicycles, skateboards, Heelies, roller blades, etc. should be pushed or carried rather than ridden on school grounds. • Upon arriving at school all bikes must be parked in racks provided. • Students should make sure their bikes are locked in the bicycle racks. The school is NOT responsible for theft or damage. Our district does not carry insurance for this purpose.
5 284 Dress Code Students are expected to dress appropriately for school every day. • Appearance that is distracting to the learning environment is unacceptable. • School officials will make the final determination about appropriate appearance. Students will be directed to change into clean clothing provided in the office, unless other appropriate clothing readily available. • Students will not wear clothing with suggestive or alcohol/tobacco related words or pictures. Shirts must be long enough to cover the beltline so that the torso is not visible. • Hats may not be worn in the building. • The style of wearing pants or shorts known as "sagging" is not permitted on campus. • Shorts must reach the end of a person’s fingertips as arms are held down the side of the body with open hands. Likewise skirts, dresses or any clothing item with a slit must meet the same guideline. • Extreme styles of dress, makeup, or hair color will not be accepted. PE Shoes The PE department recommends any soft-soled shoe that fits snugly around the foot be worn for physical education. PE shoes should be kept in your locker and brought to PE class. Shoes that are not acceptable for PE include any boots, sandals, flip-flops, dress shoes, or slick soled shoes. Students wearing inappropriate shoes will not be allowed to participate in activities that may be a safety hazard without appropriate shoes. Cafeteria Rules It is our hope that the breakfast and lunch periods will provide a time when students can socialize with one another and relax. In order for everyone to enjoy their meal in a safe and orderly environment, all students must obey the following rules. • Students may go through the lunch line once and should get all needed items at that time. Once students sit down they will not be allowed to return. • Appropriate table manners and speech volume are expected. • Students will remain at designated tables until dismissed by cafeteria supervisor. Students will not get up and move about or leave during mealtime without permission. • Lunch tables and the surrounding areas should be left clean – all paper, excess food, etc, should be placed in the trash cans. Teachers will assign two students each week to clean the tables. • Students may not take food out of the cafeteria.
Meal Accounts Breakfast and lunch will be offered at school starting the first day. If you have a child with a special diet, please contact the school as special diets are prepared separately for students in these cases. A doctor’s note will be required. Online Payment – Using the Infinite Campus parent portal, parents are now able to make online payments for student meals. Credit cards and e-checks will be accepted. Using the portal eliminates the need to send cash or checks with a student to school and provides parents a simple way to stay on top of school lunch accounts.

NEWTON USD #373 DISCIPLINE PLAN PHILOSOPHY We Believe... • That it is the school's responsibility to provide a positive climate for learning. • That the schools should emphasize positive incentives and recognition which promote self- discipline. • That discipline is an essential part of education. • That students have rights and responsibilities. • That school rules should be established and understood by parents, teachers and students. • That parents should be deeply involved in the discipline of their children. • That parents, teachers, and administrators should help students work toward self-discipline, self- control, and self-responsibility. • That disciplinary action should be in accordance with the policy of the Newton Board of Education and as stated in the State of Kansas laws.

If appropriate, students who violate the bullying prohibition shall be reported to local law enforcement. Sexual Harassment USD #373 is committed to providing a positive learning and working environment for its students and employees and will not tolerate sexual harassment or sexual violence. Sexual harassment is illegal. It is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and may constitute sexual abuse under Kansas statutes. This policy applies to males or females, including same sex harassment. This policy is applicable to students while on school premises and while participating in off-campus school sponsored activities. Sexual harassment of any student in the district by board members, administrators, certified and support personnel, students, vendors, and any others having business or other contact with the school district is strictly prohibited. • Sexual harassment is unwelcome sexual advances, request for sexual favors, or other inappropriate oral, written, or physical conduct of a sexual nature when: • Submission to such conduct is made, explicitly or implicitly, term or condition of an individual’s education. • Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as a basis for academic decision affecting that individual. • Such conduct has the purpose or effect of interfering with an individual’s school performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment. Sexual harassment may include, but is not limited to: verbal or written harassment or abuse, including teasing, jokes, posters, graffiti, pictures or cartoons; written notes, letters or computer messages of a sexual nature; pressure for sexual activity; remarks with sexual or demeaning implication; unwelcome touching, patting, pinching, hugging or brushing against another’s body; unwelcome following or stalking; suggesting or demanding sexual involvement accompanied by implied or explicit threats or promises concerning a student’s grades, participation in extra-curricular or other activities, sexual assault or battery as defined by current law. The fact that someone did not intend to sexually harass an individual is not considered a defense to a complaint of sexual harassment. In most cases, it is the effect and characteristics of the behavior that determine if the behavior constitutes sexual harassment. Additionally, when others are offended by behaviors or spoken words, it will be defined as harassment. By definition, the reaction of the victim determines whether harassment has occurred. When acts of sexual harassment or other violations of this policy are substantiated, appropriate action will be taken against the individual. Disciplinary actions will be taken according to the district’s discipline plan. Individuals who harass may be held personally liable under civil suits. Any student may file a formal complaint of sexual harassment with any staff member. Complaints must be put in writing and are normally addressed to the building principal. Please see any teacher or administrator for the form needed to file a complaint.
11 290 Racial Harassment USD #373 is committed to providing a positive and productive learning and working environment, free from discrimination, including harassment, on the basis of race, color or national origin. Discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color or national origin (‘”racial harassment”) shall not be tolerated in the school district. Racial harassment of employees or students of the district by board members, administrators, certificated and support personnel, students, vendors, and any others having business or other contact with the school district is strictly prohibited. Racial harassment is unlawful discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin under Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Kansas Acts Against Discrimination. All forms of racial harassment are prohibited at school, on school property, and at all school-sponsored activities, programs or events. Racial harassment against individuals associated with the school is prohibited, whether or not the harassment occurs on school grounds. It shall be a violation of this policy for any student, employee or third party (visitor, vendor, etc.) to racially harass any student, employee or other individual associated with the school. It shall further be a violation for any employees to discourage a student from filing a complaint, or to fail to investigate or refer for investigation, any complaint lodged under the provisions of this policy. Racial Harassment is racially motivated conduct which: • Affords a student different treatment, solely on the basis of race, color or national origin, in a manner which interferes with or limits the ability of the student to participate in or benefit from the services, activities or programs of the school; • Is sufficiently severe, pervasive or persistent so as to have the purpose or effect of creating a hostile academic environment, or • Is sufficiently severe, pervasive or persistent so as to have the purpose or effect of interfering with a student’s academic performance or ability to participate in or benefit from the services, activities or programs of the school. • Racial harassment may result from verbal or physical conduct or written graphic material. The district encourages all victims of racial harassment and persons with knowledge of such harassment to report the harassment immediately. The district will promptly investigate all compliance of racial harassment and take prompt corrective action to end the harassment. Any student who believes he or she has been subject to racial harassment or has witnessed an act of alleged racial harassment should discuss the alleged harassment with the building principal, another administrator, the social worker, or another certified staff member. Any school employee who receives a complaint of racial harassment from a student shall inform the student of the employee’s obligation to report the complaint and any proposed resolution of the complaint to the building principal. If the building principal is the alleged harasser, the complaint shall be reported to the district compliance coordinator. The building principal shall discuss the complaint with the student to determine if it can be resolved. If the matter is not resolved to the satisfaction of the student in this meeting, the student may initiate a formal complaint under the district’s discrimination complaint procedure. Complaints received will be investigated to determine whether, under the totality of the circumstances, the alleged behavior constitutes racial harassment under the definition outlined above. Unacceptable student conduct may or may not constitute racial harassment, depending on the nature of the conduct and its severity, pervasiveness and persistence. Behaviors which are unacceptable but do not constitute harassment may provide grounds for discipline under the code of student conduct. The discipline of a student for violation of any provision of the code of student conduct may be enhanced if the conduct is racially motivated. An employee who witnesses an act of racial harassment shall report the incident to the building principal. Employees who fail to report complaints or incidents of racial harassment to appropriate 12 291 school officials may face disciplinary action. School administrators who fail to investigate and take appropriate corrective action in response to complaints of racial harassment may also face disciplinary action. When a complaint contains evidence of criminal activity or child abuse, the compliance coordinator shall report such conduct to the appropriate law enforcement or DCF (Department for Children and Families formerly known as SRS) authorities. To the extent possible confidentiality will be maintained throughout the investigation of a complaint. The desire for confidentiality must be balanced with the district’s obligation to conduct a thorough investigation, to take appropriate corrective action or to provide due process to the accused. The filing of a complaint or otherwise reporting racial harassment shall not reflect upon the student’s status or grades. Any act of retaliation against any person who has filed a complaint or testified, assisted, or participated in an investigation of a racial harassment complaint is prohibited. Any person who retaliates is subject to immediate disciplinary action, up to and including expulsion for a student or termination of employment for an employee. False or malicious complaints of racial harassment may result in corrective or disciplinary action against the complainant. A summary of this policy and related materials shall be available in each district facility. The policy shall also be published in student, parent and employee handbooks as directed by the district compliance coordinator. Weapons A student shall not knowingly possess, handle or transmit any object that can reasonably be considered a weapon at school, on school property or at a school-sponsored event. This shall include any weapon, any item being used as a weapon or destructive device, or any facsimile of a weapon. Definition of Weapons and Destructive Devices • As used in this policy, the term “weapon” and/or destruction device shall include, but shall not be limited to: • Any weapon which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; • The frame or receiver of any weapon described in the preceding example; • Any firearm muffler or firearm silencer; • Any explosive, incendiary, or poison gas (a) bomb, (b) grenade, (c) rocket having a propellant charge of more than four ounces, (d) missile having an explosive or incendiary charge of more than ¼ ounce, (e) mine, or (f) similar device; • Any weapon which will, or which may be readily converted to, expel a projectile by the action of an explosive or other propellant, and which has any barrel with a bore of more than ½ inch in diameter; • Any combination of parts either designed or intended for use in converting any device into any destructive device described in the two immediately preceding examples, and from which a destructive device may be readily assembled; • Any bludgeon, sand-club, metal knuckles, or throwing star; • Any knife with a blade over 2½ inches or a knife, commonly referred to as a switchblade, which has a blade that opens automatically by hand pressure applied to a button, spring or other device in the handle of the knife, or any knife having a blade that opens or falls or is ejected into position by the force of gravity or by an outward, downward or centrifugal thrust or movement; • Any electronic device designed to discharge immobilizing levels of electricity, commonly known as a stun gun. 13 292
Penalties for Possession: Possession of a firearm or other weapon or facsimile of a weapon shall result in expulsion from school for a period of one calendar year, except the superintendent may recommend this expulsion requirement be modified on a case-by-case basis. Possession of a facsimile of a weapon may result in suspension or expulsion. Expulsion hearings for possession of a weapon shall be conducted by the superintendent or the superintendent’s designee. Students violating this policy shall be reported as having a felony or misdemeanor and also referred to the appropriate law enforcement agency, and if a juvenile to DCF (Department for Children and Families formerly known as SRS) or the Commissioner of Juvenile Justice.

295 Accidents and Health Insurance • Parents will be notified as appropriate when students are involved in accidents occurring on school property. In general, we recommend that students are to be taken to their physician for treatment by the parent or other designated persons. • The school district does not purchase accident insurance to cover injuries incurred by students at school. • We encourage all families to have accident coverage on their students prior to participation in any school-sponsored activity. • Health insurance is available to qualified families through Health Wave, a state insurance program. Information may be attained in the office.
Asbestos It is our intent to not only comply with, but exceed federal, state, and local regulations concerning asbestos. We plan on taking whatever steps are necessary to insure that your children and our employees have a healthy, safe environment in which to learn and work.
Attendance • Regular attendance at school is important for a student’s success. Students are expected to be at school every day and report to class on time. • Children should arrive at school no earlier than ten minutes before starting time. Supervision is not provided for students prior to this time. • Students should not play on school grounds before or after school. Latchkey services are available at most schools for students who must arrive early or stay late. Latchkey information may be attained in the office. • Parents of students who walk to school should plan the safest route to school and review safety rules regularly. Parents delivering or picking up students should have their child exit the vehicle in such a way that the student will not cross traffic. • Students must always use the crosswalk and obey the crossing guard. • All absences must be called into the school office by 9:00 a.m. If in the event you do not call, a school representative will call and check the reason for the absence. • If your student will be leaving school early, please call the office or send a note to the teacher. Parents are to report to the office when picking students up for appointments during school hours. Please notify the office if someone else will be picking up your student. • When a student is not in attendance in school, it is understood that classroom instruction will continue and work will be expected to be made up by the student missing the instruction. This applies to all excused absences, including Weekday Bible School. • Reasonable time to make-up work will be allowed by instructors, and each case will be treated individually. It is the responsibility of the student to inquire about assignments missed and make arrangements for missed work to be made up.
Truancy Policy (JBE) (Inserted revised policy)
The building principal or designee shall report students who are unexcused from school to the appropriate authority. Truancy is defined as any three consecutive unexcused absences, any five unexcused absences in a semester or seven unexcused absences in a school year, whichever comes first. School year means the period from July 1 to June 30. Students who are absent without a valid excuse for a significant part of any school day shall be considered truant. Prior to reporting to either S.R.S. (if the student is under 13) or the county or district attorney (if the student is 13 or more years of age but less than 18 years of age), a letter shall be sent to the student’s parent(s) or guardian notifying them that the student’s failure to attend school without a valid excuse shall result in the student being reported truant. • Waiver of Compulsory Attendance Requirements - Students 16 or 17 years of age may be exempt from compulsory attendance regulations if the parent(s) or person acting as parent attend(s) the counseling session required by law and signs the appropriate consent and waiver form; if the student earns a GED; or if the student is exempt from compulsory attendance requirements pursuant to a court order.
296 • Involvement of Law Enforcement - Law enforcement officers may return truant children to the school where the child is enrolled, to the child’s parent or guardian or to another location designated by the board to address truancy issues. • Reporting to Parents - If a truant child is returned to school by a law enforcement official, the principal shall notify the parent or guardian. • Dual Enrollment Students (See IDCE) – Eligible students who are enrolled in a board-approved dual enrollment program shall not be considered truant, for the hours during the school day they attend classes at a Regent’s university, community college, technical college, vocational educational school or Washburn University. Approved: 9-2012
Bicycles • Bicycles may be ridden to school and parked and locked in racks. • Improper use of one's bicycle may mean that the student will be asked to leave his bike at home. • Students are to walk bicycles while on school property. • Students are encouraged to wear helmets and follow bicycle safety rules.

Emergency (Crisis) Information • You must provide your school with emergency phone numbers in the event your student becomes ill or is injured at school and requires your presence.
• USD 373 uses an automated parent notification system (AlertNow)(Connect5) to send out a message to notify parents of important events such as school delays or cancellations due to weather, power outages, or other reasons. The system also keeps parents informed during emergency situations such as a school lock-down or student relocation. In the event of a school closing or emergency, parents will receive phone and/or e-mail messages, according to the emergency contact information provided on the student enrollment form. Parents are strongly
297 encouraged to make sure their emergency contact information is kept up-to-date. Phone number and e-mail address changes should be reported to the school secretary.

Racial Harassment Policy - JGECA • See Appendix E of the handbook.
Safe School Hotline • Safe School Hotline is a tool that provides students, parents and educators a confidential means of reporting unsafe conditions that may imperil students and staffs in a totally anonymous, non- threatening way. It can give school officials the information they need to enhance safety and improve the quality of education. Students or parents with something important to report can call the Safe School Hotline 24 hours a day with complete assurance of confidentiality. The Safe School Hotline Number is: 877-626-8203. (Your Name is Never Asked)
Severe Weather • The following procedures are planned if bad weather conditions require us to dismiss early, to delay the starting time, or to close all or part of the schools for the day. Every attempt will be made to announce the decision by 7:00 a.m. if school is not held, or if the starting time is delayed. Using our automated notification system, parents will receive phone and/or e-mail messages according to the emergency contact information provided on the student enrollment form. Phone number and e-mail address changes should be reported to the school secretary promptly. Area radio and TV stations will be notified as well as posting on the district website at: www.newton.k12.ks.us
• Schools will not generally be dismissed because of storms arising during the school day, as long as students and teachers can remain at school in safety. The primary reason for this is to avoid the dangers of sending students home when the parent is absent. If a school is dismissed prior to the regular dismissal time, every possible attempt will be made to notify the parents or guardians to be aware that the students are coming home. During threatening weather parents should take care to supply to the school an alternate name or destination to be used in case the
302 parent cannot be reached.

Appendix E Racial Harassment Policy – JGECA
The board of education is committed to providing a positive and productive learning and working environment, free from discrimination, including harassment, on the basis of race, color or national origin. Discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color or national origin (“racial harassment”) shall not be tolerated in the school district. Racial harassment of employees or students of the district by board members, administrators, certificated and support personnel, students, vendors, and any others having business or other contact with the school district is strictly prohibited.
Racial harassment is unlawful discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin under Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Kansas Acts Against Discrimination. All forms of racial harassment are prohibited at school, on school property, and at all school-sponsored activities, programs or events. Racial harassment against individual associated with the school is prohibited, whether or not the harassment occurs on school grounds.
It shall be a violation of this policy for any student, employee or third party (visitor, vendor, etc.) to racially harass any student, employee or other individual associated with the school. It shall further be violated for any employees to discourage a student from filing a complaint, or to fail to investigate or refer for investigation, any complaint lodged under the provisions of this policy.
Racial Harassment is racially motivated conduct which: • Affords a student different treatment, solely on the basis of race, color or national origin, in a manner which interferes with or limits the ability of the student to participate in or benefit from the services, activities or programs of the school; • Is sufficiently severe, pervasive or persistent so as to have the purpose or effect of creating a hostile academic environment; or • Is sufficiently severe, pervasive or persistent so as to have the purpose or effect of interfering with a student’s academic performance or ability to participate in or benefit from the services, activities or programs of the school.
Racial harassment may result from verbal or physical conduct or written graphic material.
The district encourages all victims of racial harassment and persons with knowledge of such harassment to report the harassment immediately. The district will promptly investigate all compliance of racial harassment and take prompt corrective action to end the harassment.
Any student who believes he or she has been subject to racial harassment or has witnessed an act of alleged racial harassment, should discuss the alleged harassment with the building principal, another administrator, the guidance counselor, or another certified staff member. Any school employee who receives a complaint of racial harassment from a student shall inform the student of the employee’s obligation to report the complaint and any proposed resolution of the complaint to the building principal. If the building principal is the alleged harasser, the complaint shall be reported to the district compliance coordinator. The building principal shall discuss the complaint with the student to determine if it can be resolved. If the matter is not resolved to the satisfaction of the student in this meeting, the student may initiate a formal complaint under the district’s discrimination complaint procedure (see KN).
Complaints received will be investigated to determine whether, under the totality of the circumstances, the alleged behavior constitutes racial harassment under the definition outlined above. Unacceptable student conduct may or may not constitute racial harassment, depending on the nature of the conduct and its severity, pervasiveness and persistence. Behaviors which are unacceptable but do not constitute harassment may provide grounds for discipline under the code of student conduct. The discipline of a student for violation of any provision of the code of student conduct may be enhanced if the conduct is racially motivated.
312
An employee who witnesses an act of racial harassment shall report the incident to the building principal. Employees who fail to report complaints or incidents of racial harassment to appropriate school officials may face disciplinary action. School administrators who fail to investigate and take appropriate corrective action in response to complaints of racial harassment may also face disciplinary action.
When a complaint contains evidence of criminal activity or child abuse, the compliance coordinator shall report such conduct to the appropriate law enforcement or SRS authorities. (See GAAD).
To the extent possible confidentiality will be maintained throughout the investigation of a complaint. The desire for confidentiality must be balanced with the district’s obligation to conduct a thorough investigation, to take appropriate corrective action or to provide due process to the accused.
The filing of a complaint or otherwise reporting racial harassment shall not reflect upon the student’s status or grades. Any act of retaliation against any person who has filed a complaint or testified, assisted, or participated in an investigation of a racial harassment complaint is prohibited.
Any person who retaliates is subject to immediate disciplinary action, up to and including expulsion for a student or termination of employment for an employee.
False or malicious complaints of racial harassment may result in corrective or disciplinary action against the complainant.
A summary of this policy and related materials shall be available in each district facility. The policy shall also be published in student, parent and employee handbooks as directed by the district compliance coordinator.

When a complaint contains evidence of criminal activity or child abuse, the building coordinator or district coordinator shall report such conduct to the appropriate law enforcement or SRS authorities. (See GAAD).
To the extent possible, confidentiality will be maintained throughout the investigation of a complaint. The desire for confidentiality must be balanced with the district’s obligation to conduct a thorough investigation, to take appropriate corrective action or to provide due process to the accused.
The filing of a complaint or otherwise reporting sexual harassment shall not reflect upon the individual’s status or grades. Any act of retaliation against any person who has filed a complaint or testified, assisted, or participated in an investigation of a sexual harassment complaint is prohibited.

Talking Points for K-6 ELA 90 minute block
As a committee, we have reviewed what grades K-6 in USD 373 have been doing during the literacy block and have researched best practice to also align to KCCRS. Our goal was to come up with a structure for the 90- minute block that delivers effective instruction with consistency across the District and appropriate for each grade level.
Each ELA member for grades K-6 has requested books that go along with the details below. Nora will order these books this week and they will be provided to teachers as soon as they come in. Professional development and support will be provided to teachers.
It is expected that the 90- minute block has the four main components (first column) in the delivery of instruction each day. Next, find your grade level and note the 90 minutes uninterrupted ELA instruction and 30 additional minutes for writing in grades K-4. Grades 5-6 have 90 minutes for reading and writing due to schedule constraints. When reading through the goals, it is not intended that each one occurs each day. Your instruction will be tailored to meet the needs of your students.

3. KCCRS–Kansas College Career Readiness Standards in ELA & Math (Common Core)
As cited on http://www.corestandards.org/the-standards, the States across the country collaborated with teachers, researchers, and leading experts to design and develop the Common Core State Standards. Each state independently made the decision to adopt the Common Core State Standards, beginning in 2010. The federal government was NOT involved in the development of the standards. Local teachers, principals, and superintendents lead the implementation of the Common Core.
The Common Core State Standards are a clear set of shared goals and expectations for the knowledge and skills students need in English language arts and mathematics at each grade level to ultimately be prepared to graduate college and career ready. The standards establish what students need to learn, but they do not dictate how teachers should teach. Teachers will continue to devise lesson plans and tailor instruction to the individual needs of the students in their classrooms.
Teachers in USD 373 have been transitioning to and implementing the new standards. They are planning and creating lessons based on the KCCRS.
These standards will be brought to the Board of Education for adoption in June.

4. Health Sciences Academy Lease Agreement
For your review and discussion, I have included the draft lease agreement between Newton Medical Center and USD 373 for the lease of the building formally used for childcare on the medical center grounds. The lease agreement includes a $1 annual lease payment with a three-year term.
As disclosed earlier, the plan at this time would be to clean floors and carpet and paint only the rooms (two classrooms and office area) that will be used next year. The cost is estimated at less than $3,500. The building would house Project Search and provide classroom space for Med Science I and Med Science III during the 2013-14 school year.
Unoccupied utilities have been running approximately $180 per month and fully occupied (when full-time daycare center) utilities ran approximately $800 per month. We are discussing internet and phone service options on Friday and will have more information at the meeting on Monday.
HCC is interested in continuing to discuss how this program might grow and how courses that they offer will fit into the high school program. We will be looking to increase the number of industry certifications that will be available to our students through this pathway. Next year, students will complete coursework with a minimum of a Certified Nurses Aide (CNA) certification.
We are looking at ways to have funding through SB 155 and will be meeting with HCC representatives early in the summer.

c. LANDLORD shall attempt to obtain and maintain, throughout the Term, in LANDLORD's casualty insurance policies, provisions to the effect that such policies shall not be invalidated should the insured waive, in writing, prior to loss, any or all right of recovery against any party for loss occurring to the Building. As long as such or similar provisions are included in LANDLORD's fire insurance policies then in force, LANDLORD hereby waives (a) any obligation on the part of TENANT to make repairs to the Premises necessitated or occasioned by fire or other casualty that is an insured risk under such policies, and (b) any right of recovery against TENANT, any other permitted occupant of the Leased Premises, and any of their servants, employees, agents or contractors, for any loss occasioned by fire or other casualty that is an insured risk under such policies. In the event that at any time LANDLORD's casualty insurance carriers shall not include such or similar provisions in LANDLORD's fire insurance policies, the waivers set forth in the foregoing sentence shall, upon notice given by LANDLORD to TENANT, be deemed of no further force or effect.
14. UTILITIES
a. LANDLORD will provide and maintain the necessary equipment for adequate heating, air conditioning and ventilation, and connections so that all utilities (electricity, water, sewer, and gas) are adequately available to the Leased Premises.

b. GOVERNING LAW: It is agreed that this Lease Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas.
c. WAIVERS: Waiver by LANDLORD of any breach of any covenant or duty of TENANT under this Lease is not a waiver of a breach of any other covenant or duty of TENANT or of any subsequent breach of the same covenant or duty.
d. ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Lease Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties. Any prior understanding or representation of any kind preceding the date of this Lease shall not be binding upon either party except to the extent incorporated in this Lease Agreement.

5. Walton Rural Life Center Modular Building Addition
After reviewing enrollment options at the April meeting and hearing of a possible alternative to a major construction project at Walton, the board requested additional information on cost prior to proceeding with any commitments. Included in the packet is an estimated range of costs prepared by PBA Architects after reviewing the site work and utility requirements (estimates per Westar and electrical engineers indicate additional electrical service will be required to handle the increased load), the total cost of the project is estimated the range from $301,430 to $319,179.
Walton supporters continue to raise funds to offset the cost, and currently have raised $81,458 and have $60,000 in pledges. Administration requests the board provide direction on moving this project forward. Costs not covered by the Walton fund would have to be included in the capital outlay expentitures for the year or through the contingency reserve fund. The building would be eligible for new facilities weighting for two years.

7. Budget Information
As Russ has analyzed the impact of flat funding on the district, he has concluded that general fund budget will need to be reduced by $153,904 and supplemental general fund will need to be reduced by $616,000. The total amount that the district budget will need to be reduced is anticipated at $769,904.
Now, the analysis at this time has included several assumptions: stable enrollment 2013-14 weightings the same as audited enrollment enrollment being calculated on a 3-year average method (which results in reduction – primarily due to the closing of Youthville’s program) flat property valuation ending balance of $200,000 in LOB keeping mill levy at the current level
Russ prepared several documents for the most recent Budget Advisory Council that are included in the board packet.
Every year as superintendents and assistant superintendents for business begin the process of looking at budget there are certain considerations and assumptions that are made that impact the budget. What costs are projected to increase? What will valuations do? What will be the impact on the mill levy? How many students will actually enroll? What are the cost differences between the staff members that are leaving and the ones that are being hired? How much was budgeted this year and how much was spent? Are there line items that could be reduced that would have the effect of a budget reduction but not impact programs or personnel?
Every budget that is prepared has a certain amount of money that is included for the unexpected. And while these funds may not be spent in the line item that the funds were budgeted to, much of what is remaining at the end of the year is used for primarily four purposes: 1. to reduce the amount of taxes collected in the next year – carryover in LOB reduces the taxes levied for the next budget; 2. to prepay expenditures for the upcoming year – examples might be insurance premiums, KSHSSA dues, KASB membership, supplies, or textbooks; 3. to reduce the transfer amounts needed in the next budget for programs such as Vocational Education, English Language Learners, At-Risk, or Special Education; and 4. to increase unencumbered cash balances in funds such as Capital Outlay for special projects or Contingency Reserve in anticipation of uncertainty related to enrollments or funding.
In the documentation titled “Budget Reductions for Consideration,” the reductions listed are a mixture of reductions that would not have any real impact on spending in the upcoming year and actual reductions that have already been put in motion. For the items that are labeled “reduce amount held in reserve,” making reductions in these line items simply means that there would be less money at the end of fiscal year 14 (June 2014) to utilize in the four ways listed above.
At this time, there is no way to determine how much we might be saving in salaries due to the hiring of teachers that would be replacing teachers that are retiring or leaving the district for other reasons.
Funding from SB155 has resulted in an additional $185,361 in revenue that can be used to offset the needed reductions between the enrollment impact in general fund and the anticipated reduction in local option budget. If the funds are used for that purpose, the district would need to reduce $584,543 from the budget to break even next year. The sheet of budget reductions for consideration includes $592,500 in budget reductions. The concern with this list is not that the district could not do without money in these
339 items, but that doing so will reduce end of year money in June 2014. The impact of that will depend greatly on enrollment, valuation, and funding. The governor has budgeted for a $14 increase in BSAPP for FY 15 which would result in $64,330 in increased revenue IF there are no changes in enrollment, proration of LOB, or other factors that would impact weightings. The increased revenue does not begin to address the “soft money” reductions that are included for consideration.
Included in the packet are the brainstorming suggestions from the Budget Advisory Council. Members of the council have experienced what you have and realize that there is no easy way to cut the budget and continue to cut the budget. They will meet at least one more time to make recommendations for the board’s consideration.
The amount the board needs to reduce in general fund and local option budget is approximately 2.5%.

8. Modifications to Early Retirement Program
At the April meeting the board requested information regarding the disparity that exists between payment schedules for teachers and administrators in the board’s early retirement qualified pension plan. The plan pays a percentage of salary based on age at retirement, which is also subjected to IRS regulations regarding a true “bridge to Social Security,” basically meaning that compensation deferred and paid later cannot exceed the amount that the employee would have received had they kept working. The percentages set in the board’s plan are reflective of that analysis, which is why the percentage paid to administrators is less than that paid to teachers. Administrator percentages also account for higher dollar amounts in the plan due to higher salaries at retirement.
While it is possible to make adjustments, administration would need to engage further counsel and actuarial support to determine feasibility. The table below shows our current situation, which of course changes annually but is projected for budgeting purposes. In that aligning the percentages paid to both employee groups would serve to increase this unfunded liability, administration recommends that no changes to the plan be made other than the prior commitment to change working after retirement language.
