Business Services Report – December 10, 2012

Following is a brief summary of some of the many activities that occurred in the Business office during the month of November, 2012.

Capital Outlay Planning. Each year in November the district reviews and prioritizes projects that can be completed with available funding over the next 12-18 months. A great deal of time has been spent in assessing specific campus needs, considering requests from building administrators and supervisory staff, and developing a systemically grounded proposal that seeks to enhance district facilities as possible while upgrading and maintaining critical systems. A finalized list of recommendations is presented at the December board meeting.

Bond Refunding. Since the board authorized the sale of refunding bonds at the November meeting, we have been engaged in a pretty fast turnaround of the required forms and procedures related to financing millions of dollars. Several meetings with district bond counsel have taken place, a conference call with Standard & Poors to provide information related to the district’s bond rating, and multiple clarifying phone calls to ensure that the process stays on track. Sale documents were completed in time for the December meeting, and closing will occur prior to the end of the month.

Audit Support. The official audit of prior year expenditures ramped up in November. The auditors were in and out of the office over several weeks, supported by pretty much everyone in the business office as they reviewed our finances and procedures to ensure compliance with local, state, and federal regulations. As of this report the final report is being prepared, and will be available for year- end filing requirements as well as presentation to the board in January.

Office Reorganization. After removing a number of pieces of obsolete equipment and spending some time reorganizing the data processing room, the student data office has now been relocated to the north end of the business services office at McKinley. The new space for Vickie Hill and Betty Schmidtberger provides significantly better work space, and is much more conducive to this critical function. Many thanks are expressed to the business services staff, ETC staff, and Maintenance for making this happen!

E-Rate 2013-14. Here we go! The E-Rate season is now officially open, and kicked off with the development of RFPs for local phone service, long distance service, and dark fiber service for the year beginning July 1, 2013. The Form 470 was filed to kick things off, and we have been responding to a number of vendors interested in serving our district. This process will continue for several weeks; new contracts for services will be brought to the board in January for approval.

Mary Beasley and I attended the Tri-State Law conference November 7, 8, and 9. This conference is a good opportunity to refresh on the requirements of IDEA and FAPE. Conference presentation information is available to staff.

The Cooperative received word from KSDE on November 16 that the formal complaint filed against the Cooperative has been closed. The finding stated that there was a procedural error and corrective action has resolved the complaint.

The Cooperative’s KSDE fiscal file review was submitted on November 30.

Staffing changes have been made at Northridge Elementary due to the increase of ED students needing a more structured setting. With the current case loads at Northridge, we were able to reassign a teacher to assist with the ED population. This will begin on or before December 12. All staff involved have accepted the reassignments. Their willingness to make the shift is appreciated. Mr. Whillock’s assistance with making these changes is also appreciated.

I have received 4 requests from special education teachers who have KSDE License Waivers, to enter the “Grow Your Own” Program (GYO) sponsored by HCSEC. These teachers are working towards special education certification while being employed by the HCSEC. We will meet to consider their requests. The GYO Program requires that teachers must commit to working in the district a minimum of 3 years or reimburse the amount funded. Currently the maximum is $500 per semester.

The Newton High School special education students prepared and served a Thanksgiving lunch on November 16.

The Newton Knights of Columbus will be presenting a check on December 9 to HCSEC from their annual Tootsie Roll Drive. Nancy Schlup will represent the Cooperative at this event. The funds will be used for our IDD students to participate in Circle of Friends activities. Thank you to the Newton Knights of Columbus for supporting our students.

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. No resignation or removal of the Paying Agent or Bond Registrar shall become effective until a successor has been appointed and has accepted the duties of Paying Agent or Bond Registrar.

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.

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

31 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 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.

32 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 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.

33 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

(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

34 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.

Section 201. Preliminary and Final Official Statement. The Preliminary Official Statement dated November 19, 2012, is hereby ratified and approved. The Official Statement is hereby authorized to be prepared by supplementing, amending and completing the Preliminary Official Statement, with such changes and additions thereto as are necessary to conform to and describe the transaction.

Section 203. Authorization of Escrow Agreement. The Issuer is hereby authorized to enter into the Escrow Agreement, and the President and Clerk are hereby authorized and directed to execute the Escrow Agreement with such changes therein as such officials may deem appropriate, for and on behalf of and as the act and deed of the Issuer. The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to carry out, on behalf of the Issuer, the duties, terms and provisions of the Escrow Agreement, and the Escrow Agent, the Purchaser and Bond Counsel are authorized to take all necessary actions for the subscription and purchase of the Escrowed Securities described therein, including the subscription for United States Treasury Securities - State and Local Government Series.

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.

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

36 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.

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

37 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.

If, because of the temporary or permanent suspension of regular mail service or for any other reason, it is impossible or impractical to mail any notice in the manner herein provided, then such other form of notice as shall be made with the approval of the Paying Agent shall constitute a sufficient notice.

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.

Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption, unless waived, shall be given by the Issuer to the Purchaser of the Bonds and to the Bond Registrar in accordance with the Bond Resolution. 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. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Bonds or portions of Bonds to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price), such Bonds or portions of Bonds shall cease to bear interest.

Book-Entry System. The Bonds are being issued by means of a book-entry system with no physical distribution of bond certificates to be made except as provided in the Bond Resolution. One Bond certificate with respect to each date on which the Bonds are stated to mature or with respect to each form of Bonds, registered in the nominee name of the Securities Depository, is being issued and required to be deposited with the Securities Depository and immobilized in its custody. The book-entry system will evidence positions held in the Bonds by the Securities Depository's participants, beneficial ownership of the Bonds in authorized denominations being evidenced in the records of such participants. Transfers of ownership shall be effected on the records of the Securities Depository and its participants pursuant to rules and procedures established by the Securities Depository and its participants. The Issuer and the Bond Registrar will recognize the Securities Depository nominee, while the Registered Owner of this Bond, as the owner of this Bond for all purposes, including (i) payments of principal of, and redemption premium, if any, and interest on, this Bond, (ii) notices and (iii) voting. Transfer of principal, interest and any redemption premium payments to participants of the Securities Depository, and transfer of principal, interest and any redemption premium payments to beneficial owners of the Bonds by participants of the Securities Depository will be the responsibility of such participants and other nominees of such beneficial owners. The Issuer and the Bond Registrar will not be responsible or liable for such transfers of payments or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records maintained by the Securities Depository, the Securities Depository nominee, its participants or persons acting through such participants. While the Securities Depository nominee is the owner of this Bond, notwithstanding the provision hereinabove contained, payments of principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on this Bond shall be made in accordance with existing arrangements among the Issuer, the Bond Registrar and the Securities Depository.

Transfer and Exchange. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THE BOND RESOLUTION, THIS GLOBAL BOND MAY BE TRANSFERRED, IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART, ONLY TO ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE SECURITIES DEPOSITORY OR TO A SUCCESSOR SECURITIES DEPOSITORY OR TO A NOMINEE OF A SUCCESSOR SECURITIES DEPOSITORY. This Bond may be transferred or exchanged, as provided in the Bond Resolution, only on the Bond Register kept for that purpose at the principal office of the Bond Registrar, upon surrender of this Bond, together with a written instrument of transfer or authorization for exchange satisfactory to the Bond Registrar duly executed by the Registered Owner or the Registered Owner's duly authorized agent, and thereupon a new Bond or Bonds in any Authorized Denomination of the same

52 maturity and in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor as provided in the Bond Resolution and upon payment of the charges therein prescribed. The Issuer shall pay all costs incurred in connection with the issuance, payment and initial registration of the Bonds and the cost of a reasonable supply of bond blanks. The Issuer and the Paying Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name this Bond is registered on the Bond Register as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal or redemption price hereof and interest due hereon and for all other purposes. The Bonds are issued in fully registered form in Authorized Denominations.

AGREEMENT BETWEEN ISSUER AND AGENT

$9,885,000 UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 373, HARVEY COUNTY, KANSAS (NEWTON) GENERAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING BONDS SERIES 2012 DATED DECEMBER 1, 2012

THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of December 1, 2012, between Unified School District No. 373, Harvey County, Kansas (Newton), a unified school district (the “Issuer”), and the State Treasurer of Kansas, as Agent (the “Agent”).

WHEREAS, for its lawful purposes, the Issuer has duly authorized the issue of the above- captioned bonds (the “Securities”), and the Issuer wishes the Agent to act as its Paying Agent, Bond Registrar, and Transfer Agent for the Securities:

Now, therefore, it is hereby agreed as follows:

I. APPOINTMENT

Issuer hereby appoints or has heretofore appointed the State Treasurer of Kansas to act as Paying Agent, Bond Registrar and Transfer Agent for the Securities. The State Treasurer of Kansas hereby accepts its appointment as the Paying Agent, Bond Registrar and Transfer Agent.

II. BASIC DUTIES

A. Issuer or its duly authorized representative agrees to furnish Agent the name(s) and address(es) of the initial registered owner(s) of the Securities together with such registered owners' tax identification (social security) number(s), the maturity date(s), denomination(s) and interest rate(s) for each Security.

B. Agent shall manually authenticate the originally issued Securities upon the written order of one or more authorized officers of Issuer. Thereafter, Agent shall manually authenticate all Securities resulting from transfer or exchange of Securities.

C. Agent shall maintain an office in the City of Topeka, Kansas, where Securities may be presented for registration, transfer and exchange; and shall also maintain an office in the City of Topeka, Kansas, where Securities may be presented for payment. Agent shall keep a register of the Securities and their transfer and exchange.

D. Agent may rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. Agent need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. Agent undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties set forth in K.S.A. 10-620 et seq., except as specifically provided in this Agreement.

E. Agent shall notify the owners of the Securities upon default in payment of principal or interest on the Securities and the Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities thereafter.

III. COMPENSATION

Issuer covenants and agrees to pay to Agent, as reasonable compensation for the services provided as Agent, an initial setup fee of $300, a registration fee of $30, plus a fee of $3,500, which is based on “Book-entry Only” Securities.

This amount will be due at the time of registration unless such fee is to be paid from the proceeds of the bond issue in which case Issuer agrees to pay such fee within two (2) business days of the closing of the bond issue. 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. Issuer shall at Issuer's cost provide Agent with an adequate supply of certificates for any anticipated transfers or exchanges of the certificates. Issuer shall be responsible for the payment of the printing or other expenses for such certificates. Issuer shall be responsible for obtaining appropriate “CUSIP” number(s) and shall notify Agent of each number(s) prior to the issuance of the applicable Securities.

69 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

70 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

Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of numbered Securities of Issuer (in a number equal to one Security for each maturity) for registration and exchange, and shall safeguard any “blank” Securities held for purpose of exchange or transfer.

J. REPORTS

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

K. CONSTRUCTION

This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas and also the Bond Resolution authorizing the issuance of the Securities.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Issuer hereby covenants that no part of the proceeds of the Bonds or of the money or funds in the Escrow Fund shall be used, at any time, directly or indirectly, in a manner which, if such use had been reasonably anticipated on the date of issuance of the Bonds would have caused any of the Bonds to be an “arbitrage bond” under Section 148 of the Code.

95 (e) Upon the payment in full of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Refunded Bonds, all remaining money and Escrowed Securities in the Escrow Fund, together with any interest thereon, shall be transferred to the Issuer to be applied by the Issuer in accordance with law.

(f) After the transfers described in subsection (b) above, cash balances in excess of $1,000 remaining in the Escrow Fund from redemption of SLGS shall, to the extent required or permitted by applicable Treasury Regulations and to the extent that such securities are then available for purchase, be invested by the Escrow Agent in SLGS, maturing on or prior to the next interest Bond Payment Date on the Refunded Bonds, at the rate of 0.00%, in accordance with the provisions of the Verification Report.

8. Substitute Escrowed Securities.

(a) In the event that any of the Escrowed Securities are not available for delivery on the date of the issuance of the Bonds, the Escrow Agent is directed to accept substitute securities in lieu thereof, provided: (1) the substitute securities are non-callable direct obligations of the United States of America, (2) the maturing principal of and interest on such substitute securities (excluding any interest after any optional call date) is equal to or greater than the maturity value of such unavailable Escrowed Securities, (3) principal of and interest on the substitute securities is payable on or before the maturity date of the unavailable Escrowed Securities, and (4) the Issuer and Bond Counsel in writing approve such substitution. If the original Escrowed Securities become available and are tendered to the Escrow Agent by or on behalf of the Purchaser, the Escrow Agent shall accept such Escrowed Securities, shall return the substitute securities as directed by such Purchaser and shall notify Bond Counsel and the Issuer of the transaction.

(b) At the written request of the Issuer and upon compliance with the conditions hereinafter stated, the Escrow Agent shall have the power to sell, transfer, request the redemption of or otherwise dispose of the Escrowed Securities and to substitute for the Escrowed Securities solely cash or Substitute Escrowed Securities. The Escrow Agent shall purchase such Substitute Escrowed Securities with the proceeds derived from the sale, transfer, disposition or redemption of the Escrowed Securities together with any other funds available for such purpose. 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 after the substitution (including Substitute Escrowed Securities to be acquired), together with any other money to be held in the Escrow 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 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 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.

96 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 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 attached hereto, to the Paying Agent and to George K. Baum & Company, the original purchaser of the Series 2007 Bonds and MBIA Insurance Corporation, the Bond Insurer of the Series 2007 Bonds, not more than 60 days after December 27, 2012. 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 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 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 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.

97 (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.

(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 $4,000, 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 $42,500 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 is 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 March 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

98 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 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.

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

99 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 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

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. The Issuer hereby assumes liability for, and hereby agrees (whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated) to indemnify, protect, save and hold

100 harmless the Escrow Agent and its respective successors, assigns, agents and servants, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including legal fees, expenses and disbursements, without limitation) of whatsoever kind and nature which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, at any time, the Escrow Agent (whether or not also indemnified against the same by the Issuer or any other person under any other agreement or instrument) and in any way relating to or arising out of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the establishment of the Escrow Fund or the Costs of Issuance Account established hereunder, the acceptance of the moneys and securities deposited therein, the purchase of the Escrowed Securities, the retention of the Escrowed Securities or the proceeds thereof and any payment, transfer or other application of moneys or securities by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided however, that the Issuer shall not be required to indemnify the Escrow Agent against the Escrow Agent's own negligence or willful misconduct. 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 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 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

101 binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, their respective successors and assigns, whether or not so expressed.

ARTICLE II

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) no portion of the Financed Improvements are expected to be used in a Non-Qualified Use; and (3) the

122 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.

(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. 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 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 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.

(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.

123 (j) Expenditure of Bond Proceeds.

(1) Reimbursement of Expenditures; Official Intent. The governing body of the Issuer adopted a resolution 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 the Original Obligations. 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 Bond 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 Improvements expenditures, 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 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.

124

(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.

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 3.03 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.

(a) Escrow Fund. (b) Costs of Issuance Account.

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 ($14,278.33) and excess proceeds ($213.05) received from the sale of the Bonds will be deposited in the Debt Service Account and allocated to pay interest on the Bonds.

(2) The sum of $42,500 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 remaining Bond proceeds in the amount of $9,834,780.95 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 Refunded Obligations on and prior to the earliest redemption date of the Refunded Obligations.

126 Section 3.06 Advance Refunding.

(a) Escrow Fund. The remaining debt service requirements on the Refunded Obligations are set forth in the Verification Report. Money in the Escrow Fund aggregating $9,834,775 will be used to purchase United States Treasury Securities (the “Escrowed Securities,”) as described in the Verification Report, and $5.95 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 Refunded Obligations. Upon redemption of the Refunded Obligations, any excess cash remaining in the Escrow Fund not needed to pay debt service on the Refunded Obligations will be transferred to the Issuer to be applied by the Issuer in accordance with law.

(b) No Current Refunding. No proceeds of the Bonds will be used to pay principal or interest on any other debt obligation other than as described in section (a) above.

(c) Limit on Number of Advance Refunding Issues. Proceeds of the Series 2007 Bonds were used in part to refund a prior debt issue of the Issuer (the “Series 1998 Bonds”) and in part to finance 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 and the financing of capital expenditures as shown on Exhibit F attached to this Tax Certificate. The Refunded Obligations comprise the portion of the Series 2007 Bonds allocated to finance capital expenditures. Therefore, the issuance of the Bonds constitutes the first advance refunding of the portion of the Series 2007 Bonds allocated to capital expenditures, and no Bond proceeds are being used to advance refund the portion of the Series 2007 obligations that are allocated to the refunding of the Series 1998 Bonds.

(d) Transferred Proceeds. There are no unspent proceeds (sale proceeds, Investment proceeds or transferred proceeds) of the Refunded Obligations. Therefore there are no transferred proceeds of the Bonds.

(e) Yield on the Escrowed Securities. The Yield on the Escrowed Securities (0.6989384% as shown in the Verification Report) does not exceed the Yield on the Bonds (see Section 3.11 hereof).

(f) Market Prices. All of the Escrowed Securities are United States Treasury Securities State and Local Government Series purchased directly from the United States Treasury.

(g) Excess Gross Proceeds. There will be no excess gross proceeds of the Bonds.

Section 3.07 Completion of Financed Improvements. The Financed Improvements have previously been completed.

Section 3.08 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.

127 Section 3.09 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 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 3.10 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 3.11 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 $9,965,470.50, plus accrued interest.

(b) Bond Yield. Based on the Offering Prices, the Yield on the Bonds is [1.9183302]%, 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.

The Bonds maturing on September 1, 2023 are subject to the special rules of Regulations § 1.148- 4(b)(3) for certain Bonds that are subject to optional redemption and issued at an original issue premium that exceeds the stated redemption price at maturity by more than ¼% multiplied by the product of the stated redemption price at maturity and the number of complete years to the first optional redemption date for such Bond. Such maturity was sold to the public at an original issue premium in excess of the formula stated above. Therefore, in computing Yield on the Bonds, such maturity was treated as redeemed at the stated redemption price on the optional redemption date (September 1, 2022) that produces the lowest Yield for the Bonds.

Section 3.12 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.

128 (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 3.13 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.

ARTICLE IV

TAX COMPLIANCE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Section 4.01 General.

(a) Purpose of Article. The purpose of this Article is to supplement the Tax Compliance Procedure and to set out specific policies and procedures governing compliance with the federal income tax requirements that apply after the Bonds are issued. The Issuer recognizes that interest on the Bonds will remain excludable from gross income only if the Post-Issuance Tax Requirements are followed after the Issue Date. The Issuer further acknowledges that written evidence substantiating compliance with the Post-Issuance Tax Requirements must be retained in order to permit the Bonds to be refinanced with tax- exempt obligations and substantiate the position that interest on the Bonds is exempt from gross income in the event of an audit of the Bonds by the IRS.

(b) Written Policies and Procedures of the Issuer. The Issuer intends for the Tax Compliance Procedure, as supplemented by this Tax Certificate, to be its primary written policies and procedures for monitoring compliance with the Post-Issuance Tax Requirements for the Bonds and to supplement any other formal policies and procedures related to the Post-Issuance Tax Requirements that the Issuer has established or establishes in the future. The provisions of this Tax Certificate are intended to be consistent with the Tax Compliance Procedure. In the event of any inconsistency between the Tax Compliance Procedure and this Tax Certificate, the terms of this Tax Certificate will govern.

(c) Bond Compliance Officer. The Issuer, when necessary to fulfill the Post-Issuance Tax Requirements, will, through its Bond Compliance Officer, sign Form 8038-T in connection with the payment of arbitrage rebate or yield reduction payments, participate in any federal income tax audit of the Bonds or related proceedings under a voluntary compliance agreement procedures (VCAP) or undertake a remedial action procedure pursuant to Regulations §§ 1.141-12 and 1.145-2. In each case, all costs and expenses incurred by the Issuer shall be treated as a reasonable cost of administering the Bonds and the Issuer shall be entitled to reimbursement and recovery of its costs to the same extent as provided in the Bond Resolution or State law.

Section 4.02 Record Keeping; Use of Bond Proceeds and Use of Financed Improvements.

(a) Record Keeping. The Bond Compliance Officer will maintain the Tax-Exempt Bond File for the Bonds in accordance with the Tax Compliance Procedure. Unless otherwise specifically instructed in a written Opinion of Bond Counsel or to the extent otherwise provided in this Tax Certificate, the Bond Compliance Officer shall retain records related to the Post-Issuance Tax Requirements until 3 years following the final maturity of (1) the Bonds or (2) any obligation issued to refund the Bonds. Any records maintained electronically must comply with Section 4.01 of Revenue Procedure 97-22, which generally provides that an electronic storage system must (A) ensure an accurate and complete transfer of

129 the hardcopy records which indexes, stores, preserves, retrieves and reproduces the electronic records, (B) include reasonable controls to ensure integrity, accuracy and reliability of the electronic storage system and to prevent unauthorized alteration or deterioration of electronic records, (C) exhibit a high degree of legibility and readability both electronically and in hardcopy, (D) provide support for other books and records of the Issuer and (5) not be subject to any agreement that would limit the ability of the IRS to access and use the electronic storage system on the Issuer’s premises.

(b) Accounting and Allocation of Bond Proceeds to Expenditures. The Bond Compliance Officer will account for the investment and expenditure of Bond proceeds in the level of detail required by the Tax Compliance Procedure. A copy of the Final Written Allocation is attached as Exhibit D.

(c) Annual Compliance Checklist. Attached as Exhibit E is a sample Annual Compliance Checklist for the Bonds. The Bond Compliance Officer will prepare and complete an Annual Compliance Checklist for the Financed Improvements at least annually in accordance with the Tax Compliance Procedure. In the event the Annual Compliance Checklist identifies a deficiency in compliance with the requirements of this Tax Certificate, the Bond Compliance Officer will take the actions identified in an Opinion of Bond Counsel or Section 4.4 of the Tax Compliance Procedure to correct any deficiency.

(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. Bond proceeds deposited in the Escrow Fund are being invested at a Yield less than the Yield on the Bonds.

(b) Costs of Issuance Account. Bond proceeds deposited in the Costs of Issuance Account may be invested without Yield restriction for 13 months.

(c) Debt Service Account. To the extent that the Debt Service Account qualifies as a Bona Fide Debt Service Fund, money in such account may be invested without Yield restriction for 13 months after the date of deposit. Earnings on those amounts may be invested without Yield restriction for one year after the date of receipt of such earnings.

(d) Rebate Fund. Money other than sale proceeds or Investment proceeds of the Bonds on deposit in the Rebate Fund may be invested without Yield restriction.

(e) 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.

(f) Minor Portion. In addition to the amounts described above, Gross Proceeds not exceeding the Minor Portion 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

130 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.

131 (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.

132 (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 to pay principal of any Bonds is not taken into account as an expenditure for purposes of meeting any of the spending tests.

133 (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.

134 (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.

ARTICLE V

RECEIPT AND REPRESENTATION

$9,885,000 UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 373, HARVEY COUNTY, KANSAS (NEWTON) GENERAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING BONDS SERIES 2012 DATED DECEMBER 1, 2012

This certificate is being delivered by George K. Baum & Company, Wichita, Kansas (the “Purchaser”) in connection with the issuance of the above-described bonds (the “Bonds”), being issued on the date of this Receipt by Unified School District No. 373, Harvey County, Kansas (Newton) (the “Issuer”). Based on its records and information available to the undersigned which the undersigned believes to be correct, the Purchaser represents as follows:

1. Authorized Representative. The undersigned is the duly authorized representative of the Purchaser.

2. Receipt for Bonds. The Purchaser acknowledges receipt by the Depository Trust Company on behalf of the Purchaser on the Issue Date consisting of fully registered “book-entry-only” bonds in Authorized Denominations in a form acceptable to the Purchaser.

3. Public Offering. 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”), made pursuant to the Bond Purchase Agreement between the Issuer and the Purchaser, dated December 4, 2012 (the “Sale Date”). 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.

4. Compliance with Bond Purchase Agreement. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has timely received in satisfactory form and manner all proceedings, certificates, opinions, letters and other documents required to be submitted to it pursuant to the Bond Purchase Agreement on the date of the delivery of and payment for the Bonds (except to the extent the Purchaser has waived or consented to modification of certain provisions thereof), and that the Issuer has in all respects complied with and satisfied all of its obligations to us which are required under the Bond Purchase Agreement to be complied with and satisfied on or before the date hereof.

5. Reliance. The Issuer may rely on the foregoing representations in executing and delivering its Federal Tax Certificate with respect to its certification as to issue price of the Bonds under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and Gilmore & Bell, P.C., Bond Counsel, may rely on the foregoing representations in rendering its opinion relating to the exclusion from federal gross income of the interest on the Bonds under the Code.

Dr. Russell Miller, Assistant Superintendent for Business Services/Clerk Unified School District No. 373, Harvey County, Kansas Newton Office of the Board of Education 308 E. First Street Newton, Kansas 67114

Re: Unified School District No. 373, Harvey County, Kansas Newton - Tax and Securities Compliance Procedures

Dear Russell:

Background.

For several years IRS officials have expressed concern that state and local government bond issuers do not have adequate written procedures to ensure that the ongoing tax requirements are met after the financing has closed. The IRS had been much less forthcoming when asked specifically what topics should be covered in these "written procedures" and whether those procedures should go beyond the provisions already contained in the federal tax certificate. The IRS has now published an article that clarifies its expectations and describes minimum post-issuance tax compliance standards for all issuers of tax-exempt debt and other "tax-advantaged" debt, such as build America bonds. In the article, the IRS strongly suggests that issuers adopt a comprehensive set of tax compliance procedures that will govern all of the issuer’s tax-exempt debt, rather than attempting to follow the tax compliance procedures mandated by the federal tax certificate or tax compliance agreement relating to each specific bond issue. The article also outlines key characteristics that should be included in an issuer’s written tax compliance procedures:

* Due diligence review at regular intervals; * Identifying the official or employee of the issuer responsible forreview; * Training of the responsible official/employee of the issuer; * Retention of adequate records to substantiate compliance e.g., records relating to expenditure of proceeds; * Procedures reasonably expected to timely identify noncompliance; and * Procedures ensuring that the issuer will take steps to timely correct noncompliance

For many years, Gilmore & Bell’s tax compliance agreements and federal tax certificates have contained provisions that require issuers to arrange for arbitrage rebate calculations, to obtain an opinion of bond counsel prior to entering into typical private-use transactions involving bond-financed assets such as management agreements or leases and to retain copies of records to substantiate the investment and expenditure of bond proceeds and the use of financed property. These provisions, iffollowed, should cover the concerns raised by IRS auditors and tax administrators regarding post-issuance tax compliance.

JLN600748COVER LETTER 11-26-12 151 Tax and Securities Compliance Procedures Page 2

However, as administrator of the tax laws, the IRS has wide latitude to decide th type of documentation and procedures local government issuers should follow when they issue tax-exempt debt. This includes setting reasonable standards for written substantiation to support the position that interest on a particular debt is tax-exempt. The IRS, through the above-referenced article, new audit and settlement policies, changes to informational tax returns filed by governmental issuers and tax-exempt organizations, and informational seminars, has stated a strong clear preference for a stand-alone tax compliance procedure that incorporates the key characteristics outlined above.

Although the IRS has not adopted any specific sanctions if an issuer does not implement written tax compliance procedures such as loss of tax-exempt status or denial of the right to issue tax-exempt debt, it has adopted policies that provide more favorable settlement terms for issuers that have written tax compliance procedures in place. We believe governmental issuers that attempt to "get by with less" are likely to be at a significant disadvantage in the event of an IRS audit of a bond issue. In addition, because the tax-exempt status of a refunding issue depends on whether the refunded tax-exempt issue satisfied the post-issuance tax compliance requirements, issuers that lack proper substantiation documentation and records could find it difficult or even impossible to refinance their debt on a tax-exempt basis in the future.

What is changing?

1. Separate Written Compliance Procedures. Gilmore & Bell will require that each governmental issuer adopt a written procedure for post-issuance tax compliance and record-keeping that will apply to all tax-exempt debt issued by such entity or on behalf of such entity. The written procedure will contain a list of documents and records that must be prepared and retained as part of a tax-exempt bond compliance file. The written compliance procedure will not replace the tax compliance agreement or federal tax certificate that is part of each financing, but instead will provide a framework that issuers will use to monitor and document tax compliance.

2. Identified Bond Compliance Officer. The written compliance procedure and the tax documents for each financing will designate a "bond compliance officer" who will be responsible for post-issuance bond compliance. For traditional government financings this will be an issuer employee or

official -- usually the person with overall responsibility for administering the bond funds.

3. Final Written Allocation of Bond Proceeds. For each new money governmental purpose financing Gilmore & Bell will require issuers to prepare a "final written allocation" of proceeds to expenditures. This final written allocation must be prepared promptly after all proceeds have been spent, and must be reviewed by bond counsel or other legal counsel selected by the issuer. Refunding transactions will incorporate similar documentation as part of the tax closing documents to specify how refunded issue proceeds were spent.

4. Annual Compliance Checklist. For all financings we will require issuers to complete a short tax compliance checklist on an annual basis. A form of the checklist tailored to each issue will be included in the tax documentation for each financing.

The final written allocation and the annual checklists, along with related documents identified in the written compliance procedure, will comprise the "tax-exempt bond file" for the financing. The bond compliance officer will be responsible for assembling and maintaining the tax-exempt bond file. A special post-issuance tax compliance call or meeting with the bond compliance officer to discuss and answer questions regarding tax compliance for the specific financing as part of the issuance process can be arranged at the request of the issuer.

JLN600748COVER LETTER 11-26-12 GILMORE & BELL, P.C. 152 Tax and Securities Compliance Procedures Page 3

Gilmore & Bell recognizes that no two governmental issuers or financings are alike, and that imposing an inflexible set of documents or procedures that fails to take unique aspects of the issuer or the financing into account will not result in better tax compliance. Unique factors will be taken into account for each issue, and, when appropriate, modifications to the documentation or procedures described above may be necessary so long as the financing will continue to meet the compliance and documentation standards outlined by the IRS. Your comments on ways to improve tax documentation or compliance procedures are always welcome.

Continuing Disclosure.

The Securities and Exchange Commission the "SEC" has promulgated rules and regulations relating to continuing disclosure requirements that effect obligations issued by governmental units. In conjunction with issuance of certain of its obligations, the Issuer has entered into or anticipates entering into continuing disclosure undertakings to provide for submission of annual reports and notices of certain material events relating to such obligations. Such reports and notices are required to be filed with the SEC via the Electronic Municipal Market Access system for municipal securities disclosures established and maintained by the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, which can be accessed at www.emma.msrb.org.

Procedure Documentation.

Attached hereto is a form of Tax and Securities Compliance Procedures the "Compliance Procedures" for governmental issues which meets the key characteristics suggested by the IRS and the SEC with respect to governmental purpose issues, together with a form of Excerpt of Minutes and Resolution adopting the Compliance Procedures.

We can arrange a special post-issuance tax and securities compliance call or meeting to discuss and answer questions regarding the Compliance Procedures if that would be helpful to you and other issuer representatives.

Adoption Procedure.

After your review of these attachments, if there are no questions or comments, the Resolution and Compliance Procedures should be presented to the governing body at your meeting on December 10, 2012. Once adopted, please retain a signed a copy of the Excerpt of Minutes, the Resolution and the Compliance Procedures including Clerk’s Certification in your permanent records and furnish a copy of each to the undersigned for ourrecords.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Robyn R. Dunlap or the undersigned.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE

Section 2.1. Purpose of Compliance Procedures.

(a) Issuer’s Use of Tax-Advantaged Bonds. The Issuer uses Governmental Tax-Advantaged Bonds to fund Costs of Project Facilities and uses Conduit Tax-Advantaged Bonds and loans or otherwise makes the proceeds available to Conduit Users to fund Costs of Project Facilities. The Issuer understands that in exchange for the right to issue Tax-Advantaged Bonds at favorable interest rates and terms, the Code and related regulations impose ongoing requirements related to the proceeds of the Tax-Advantaged Bonds and the Project Facility financed by the Tax-Advantaged Bonds. These requirements focus on the investment, use and expenditure of proceeds of the Tax-Advantaged Bonds and related funds as well as restrictions on the use of the Project Facility.

(b) IRS Recommends Separate Written Procedures. The Issuer recognizes that the IRS has stated that all issuers of Tax-Advantaged Bonds should have a separate written policy and procedure regarding ongoing compliance with the federal tax requirements for Tax-Advantaged Bonds.

(c) Issuer Commitment. The Issuer is committed to full compliance with the federal income tax requirements for all of its outstanding and future tax-advantaged financings. These Compliance Procedures is adopted by the Governing Body to comply with the IRS directive and to improve tax compliance and documentation.

(d) Conduit User Responsibilities. Since the Conduit User for each Conduit Tax- Advantaged Bond issue is primarily responsible for the expenditure and investment of its Conduit Tax- Advantaged Bonds and the use of the Financed Assets and the Project Facility, this Compliance Policy provides that the Conduit User will assume substantially all obligations related to post-issuance tax compliance for Conduit Tax-Advantaged Bonds issued for its benefit.

(e) Scope of Compliance Procedures; Conflicts. These Compliance Procedures applies to all Tax-Advantaged Bonds currently outstanding and all Tax-Advantaged Bonds issued in the future. If the provisions of these Compliance Procedures conflict with a Tax Compliance Agreement or any other specific written instructions of Bond Counsel, the terms of the Tax Compliance Agreement or specific written instructions of Bond Counsel will supersede and govern in lieu of these Compliance Procedures. Any exception to these Compliance Procedures required by Bond Counsel as part of a future issue of Tax- Advantaged Bonds will be incorporated in the Tax Compliance Agreement for the future issue. Any requirements imposed on the Issuer in the Tax Compliance Agreement, will be noted by the Bond Compliance Officer and incorporated into the Annual Compliance Checklist.

Section 2.2. Amendments and Publication of Compliance Procedures. These Compliance Procedures may be amended from time-to-time by the Governing Body. Copies of these Compliance Procedures and any amendments will be included in the permanent records of the Issuer.

ARTICLE III

159 employees that use the Project Facility to assist in implementing these Compliance Procedures.

The Bond Compliance Officer will report to the Governing Body as necessary, but at least annually, regarding implementation of these Compliance Procedures and any recommended changes or amendments to these Compliance Procedures.

Section 3.2. Training.

(a) Training Programs. When appropriate, the Bond Compliance Officer and/or other employees of the Issuer under the direction of the Bond Compliance Officer will attend training programs offered by the IRS or other industry professionals regarding Tax-Advantaged Bonds that are relevant to the Issuer.

(b) Change in Bond Compliance Officer. Any time an individual acting as the Bond Compliance Officer passes the responsibilities for carrying out the provisions of these Compliance Procedures to another individual, the Issuer will ensure the incoming individual acting as Bond Compliance Officer is trained on how to implement the policies and procedures included in these Compliance Procedures to ensure the Issuer’s continued compliance with the provisions of these Compliance Procedures and all Tax Compliance Agreements for any outstanding Tax-Advantaged Bond.

The Bond Compliance Officer will consult with Bond Counsel so that appropriate provisions are made to fund or reimburse the Issuer’s costs and expenses incurred to implement these Compliance Procedures.

The preliminary cost allocation plan will identify the assets and expected costs for the Project Facility, and, when necessary, will break-out the portions of Costs that the Issuer expects to finance with Governmental Tax-Advantaged Bonds (the “Financed Assets”) from the portions expected to be financed from other sources.

(e) Tax Review with Bond Counsel. Prior to the sale of the Governmental Tax-Advantaged Bonds, the Bond Compliance Officer and Bond Counsel will review these Compliance Procedures together with the draft Tax Compliance Agreement to ensure that any tax compliance issues in the new financing are adequately addressed by these Compliance Procedures and/or the Tax Compliance Agreement.

(b) Contents and Procedure. The Bond Compliance Officer will consult the Tax Compliance Agreement and, if necessary, contact Bond Counsel to seek advice regarding any special allocation of Governmental Tax-Advantaged Bond proceeds and other money of the Issuer to the Costs of the Project Facility. If no special allocation is required or recommended, the Bond Compliance Officer will allocate Costs of the Project Facility to the proceeds of the Governmental Tax-Advantaged Bonds in accordance with the Issuer’s accounting records. Each Final Written Allocation will contain the following: (1) a reconciliation of the actual sources and uses to Costs of the Project Facility; (2) the percentage of the cost of the Project Facility financed with proceeds of the Governmental Tax- Advantaged Bonds (sale proceeds plus any investment earnings on those sale proceeds); (3) the Project Facility’s Placed in Service date; (4) the estimated economic useful life of the Project Facility; and (5) any special procedures to be followed in completing the Annual Compliance Checklist (e.g., limiting the Annual Compliance Checklist to specific areas of the Project Facility that the Final Written Allocation or the Tax Compliance Agreement treats as having been financed by Governmental Tax-Advantaged Bonds).

(c) Finalize Annual Compliance Checklist. As part of the preparation of the Final Written Allocation, the Bond Compliance Officer will update the draft Annual Compliance Checklist contained in the Tax Compliance Agreement.

ITEMS FOR DECISION

5. Approval of Capital Outlay Recommendations for 2013-14

At the November 12, 2012 meeting of the Board of Education, requested items from capital outlay and funds for the 2013-14 year were presented. Total requests from building principals and supervisory staff totaled $1,645,511.

Following a review and prioritization of systemic needs, $1,124,170 in capital projects are being recommended for funding. Please note that the recommended funding includes approximately $600,000 from the Supplemental General Fund (LOB). Costs associated with recommended projects are estimated and may be slightly higher or lower than anticipated.

Administrative Recommendation

The administration recommends that the board approve the capital outlay recommended projects for 2013-2014 as presented.

Board Action

I move that we approve the recommended capital outlay expenditures for 2013-2014 as presented.

214 Capital Outlay Recommendations & Unmet Needs

2013-2014

PRESENTED FOR BOE APPROVAL DECEMBER 10, 2012

215

Each year, building principals and other supervisory/administrative staff are asked to submit requests for capital outlay projects. This process was completed by early November and a preliminary list of requests was shared with the board.

Included in this booklet is a finalized list of proposed capital projects, listed by building/cost center and separated by projects funded and not funded.

Revenue in the capital outlay fund has dropped significantly in the past several years, and a significant portion of the proposed capital outlay budget for the coming year has been focused on necessary network infrastructure issues and the maintenance/preservation of district property. Should additional funds be available, the “not funded” projects will be reevaluated.

Included in this booklet are two additional items that were utilized in the process: a tentative five-year plan for expenditures in addition to the revenue history associated with the capital outlay mill levy.

66 South Elmo for Room 214 1 650 For this Special Ed classroom, the teacher 650 Breeze currently turns to the board to model a procedure and therefore cannot determine if a student appears confused or is misbehaving. With an elmo, she'd be able to instruct and see students at the same time. Frequently she either has students gather around one copy of a paper to instruct or makes a copy for each student to be able to see. Providing an Elmo would make instruction more effective in general and more appropriate for her students needs. Many general ed classrooms have Elmos, and students receiving SpEd services should be provided access to the same technology as students in gen ed classrooms.

We turn off lights to see projected images better, but that hampers instruction/meetings if trying to refer to projected image and handouts, for example. If a new projector would be purchased, the request is to consider mounting, which would provide greater visibility, more effective instruction, more effective time in staff and community meetings, and greater flexibility in the use of physical space.

ITEMS OF INFORMATION

1. Newton High School 2013-2014 Draft Course Book

Newton High School administration is proposing the courses outlined in the course book being provided for your review. Proposed changes are indicated in red. If the text has a line through it, the text is being recommended for deletion. Any other red text is an addition.

As a reminder, the Kansas Board of Regents has eliminated a full credit for computer technology as a requirement for open admissions. There is no requirement from the Kansas Department of Education for computer technology for graduation. In the past, this course has qualified for .5 weighting. Thus, having this course as a graduation requirement has benefited the district by providing additional funding for every student. This course no longer qualifies for .5 weighting. Discussions are underway at the high school, to replace the full-credit requirement with a half-credit requirement (will still not qualify for .5 funding) and add a requirement for half-credit for financial management (which would qualify for .5 funding). This course book does not address any changes in graduation requirements. It is important to note, that changes in graduation requirements cannot be made for students currently enrolled in high school. All changes would be effective with in-coming freshman students.

Joanelle Lucas and teachers are recommending changes in the Health Sciences pathway that will require the purchase or reallocation of computers (a requirement for approval of the pathway by KSDE). This requirement is reflected in the capital outlay expenditures. It is my hope that this will be the first recommendation in the Health Sciences pathway that will eventually include increased partnerships with Newton Medical Center and HCC and provide students with multiple options for health careers that might include biotechnology and sports medicine. I recommend this course for addition to the high school program.

Additionally, there was a similar request for the addition of an automotive class. At this time, I am not recommending this course for addition. If it appears that funding is available for the additional expenses for this course, a recommendation will be reconsidered.

This year’s budget projected that the district would receive funding (.5 weighting) for 59.3 FTE, which equates to $227,593 in revenue for vocational education. The budget also reflects that we anticipate approximately $1,300,000 in expenses for the programs that we currently provide. We do not know the exact amount that we will receive in reimbursement from HCC for courses offered this year as a result of SB155.

Although the course book includes many courses, not all of the courses are offered in any given year. Student enrollment, scheduling of prerequisites, and courses that are counted for .5 funding (only fall courses in which students are enrolled by September 20 count for funding) are factors in the final high school schedule.

The board will be asked to approve the final draft of the course book for 2013-2014 at the January board meeting. Due to the timing of the meeting, parent meetings held in early January will utilize this draft and include any changes that the board requests at this meeting.

In the future, Sheila Wendling will develop a process for curriculum changes (including the addition and deletion of courses at the high school) that will include the steps staff members will follow when making recommendations for changes.

237 KANSAS BOARD OF REGENTS The Kansas Board of Regents governs standards at six universities in Kansas. Boards of Regents schools are: Kansas State University, The University of Kansas, Fort Hays State University, Emporia State University, Wichita State University, and Pittsburg State University. It is highly recommended students take the qualified admissions curriculum for the best preparation for post secondary success. The Kansas Board of Regents approved NHS curriculum may be found online at www.kansasregents.org. If a student elects to take college classes, other than those offered at NHS for dual credit, we cannot assure the class will meet Qualified Admissions Curriculum approval. As a result the student will need to meet regents’ admissions requirements based upon an ACT score of 21 or higher, or rank in the top third of their graduating class. Qualified Admissions Requirements are changing. Students graduating in 2013 and 2014 will meet DIFFERENT requirements than students graduating in 2015 and 2016. PLEASE review the charts on the next few pages from KBOR and make sure you are taking the correct curriculum. The Kansas Scholars Curriculum is NOT THE SAME as Qualified Admissions. Completion of the Kansas Scholars Curriculum is one of the requirements for students wishing to receive State Scholar designation.

NCAA REQUIREMENTS FOR DIVISION I AND II ATHLETICS

If you plan to participate in NCAA Division I or II athletics, you need to be certified by the NCAA Eligibility Center. You need to qualify academically and need to be cleared as an amateur athlete. You are responsible for achieving and protecting you eligibility status. Consult the website for specific information

NCAA STANDARDS:

• Minimum ACT/SAT scores AND GPA in college preparatory CORE courses. • Certified by the NCAA INTITIAL ELIGIBILITY CENTER during their senior year or before. • Forms are available online. • Information is available http://eligibilitycenter.org/ECWR2/NCAA_EMS/NCAA.html

NAIA REQUIREMENTS

Students interested in playing sports at NAIA colleges need to register with the NAIA Eligibility Center at PlayNAIA.org. Students must be a graduate of an accredited high school or be accepted as a regular student in good standing as defined by the enrolling institution AND meet 2 of the 3 following criteria:

• Achieve a minimum of an 18 on the ACT or 860 on the SAT • Achieve a minimum overall high school GPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale • Graduate in the top half of your high school class. More information is available on the following pages. You can also visit their website at www.PlayNAIA.org or calling 866-881-6242

THE NAIA AND NCAA are two separate associations, with different sets of rules and certification processes, therefore students should register with the appropriate institution. Registration fees may vary between the two associations. Registering with one eligibility center DOES NOT register you with the other!

DROP ADD POLICY There should be VERY FEW requests to make a schedule change after the pre-enrollment process is completed. During pre-enrollment, students and parents are advised to give careful consideration to course offerings. Counselors work closely with students to give them the best possible advice and answer any questions. Parents must sign the pre-enrollment form. Schedule change requests may be made the week BEFORE the start of classes or at the semester. Counselors will be available the week before school begins to make changes. All other schedule changes will be teacher initiated.

Advanced Placement (AP) Courses The College Board’s Advanced Placement Program (AP classes) enables students to pursue college-level studies while still in high school. Based on their performance on rigorous AP examinations, students can earn college credit, advanced placement in college courses, or both. Depending on the score received on the AP exam given at the end of the course, students can receive three to six hours of college credits. Nearly all colleges accept some type of AP credit, but the required test scores and number of credits granted vary from college to college. Students are advised to contact potential colleges about their AP policies. Students are responsible for the cost of taking the AP exam (currently $86), but this is substantially less than the cost of college credit. Fee reductions are available to those who qualify. AP allows high school students to take courses that are challenging, rigorous, and in-depth—preparing students for the kinds of courses they will face once in college. As such, these courses require a substantial commitment of time and energy on the part of students. Students are advised to take no more than three AP courses during one school year. Newton High School offers AP English Literature IV, AP US History, AP Calculus (AB), AP Calculus (BC) and AP Biology.

DISTANCE LEARNING The Distance Learning Network is an opportunity for students to receive high school and / or college classes that are not available in the school. Classes will be broadcast from different locations or possibly broadcast from our Distance Learning lab. Classes will be limited to 12 students and will be available in coordination with the Newton High School schedule.

Tech Prep Tech Prep is a term used to describe a course of study that prepares students to continue their education in a technical/vocational career path. NHS has agreements with Hutchinson Community College that will allow students to earn college credits for designated courses completed with a grade of B or better. Such courses are noted in this book as having “Tech Prep designation”. At the successful completion of these courses, HCC personnel will notify students of the Tech Prep status, along with the instructions for using the earned credits.

College Enrollment It is possible for high school students to enroll in college classes. NHS and Hutchinson Community College have coordinated an opportunity for students to take concurrent or dual credit classes at NHS during the regular school day. The courses offered include: English Comp. IA, English Comp. II, Fundamentals of Computer Programming, American Government, College Algebra, General Psychology, and Elements of Statistics, Aural Skills I & II, Music Theory I and II, C.N.A. and Cardiac Care. The student must pay college course tuition. A three hour college class counts as .5 high school credit. Interested students should consult with their counselor. Please refer to the next pages for specific steps to the dual enrollment process!

315 ITEMS OF INFORMATION

2. eWalkthrough Report

Through conversations with administrators in the district during the months prior to July, it was learned that there was no process in place for consistent and calibrated walkthroughs. There is significant research supporting the use of walkthroughs for improving instruction and thus student achievement. I am including an article that was published in Principal in March/April 2009.

In August, building and district administrators began developing an electronic walkthrough form with the assistance of the Executive Director of Southwest Plains Regional Service Center, Dr. Kelly Gillespie. The walkthrough form collects data from such elements as the cognitive level (higher-order thinking skills), classroom management, student engagement, and technology use. I am including a copy of the eWalkthrough form that was developed by the administrators specifically for our district. In our district, the purposes of walkthroughs are to collect data regarding the effectiveness of professional development (to what degree is professional development impacting teacher practice?) and to inform administrators of needs for professional development.

Once the form was developed, administrators participated in training (August 30) designed to inform/remind administrators of effective teaching practices and to calibrate expectations across the district. In addition, I met with representatives of Newton NEA prior to the introduction of the form to the staff to share the information that was shared with staff. Each building administrator met with staff members and shared the form and the purpose of walkthroughs with the staff.

The walkthrough process began with Dr. Gillespie, Sheila Wendling, and me leading groups of administrators in calibration activities at the high school. Afterwards, administrators established a goal of ten (10) walkthroughs per week and were asked to complete walkthroughs only in pairs to continue the efforts at calibrating expectations. The follow-up session conducted on October 16 included a review of our district data, discussion of the elements of the tool, suggestions to consider for refining for the 2013- 2014 school year, and additional opportunities to calibrate expectations. The administrators agreed to continue with the goal of ten (10) completed walkthroughs per week. At this point, administrators began conducting walkthroughs individually.

In the first quarter of the school year, administrators completed 980 walkthroughs. As of December 5, with approximately eight days remaining in the second quarter, administrators have completed 883 walkthroughs. As administrators continue to collect data, trends may develop that would initiate conversations between teachers and administrators regarding teacher practice. For example, if an administrator has been in a teacher’s classroom over multiple walkthroughs (10-15) and consistently interprets the classroom environment as one that promotes lower-level thinking skills (remembering, applying), the administrator may have a conversation with the teacher about ways to increase the cognitive level of lessons (evaluating, creating), which will ultimately improve student achievement.

Next steps: • Administrators will participate in discussions of district data from the first semester during administrator meetings during January. • Administrators will continue to meet goals for weekly walkthroughs and discuss results with superintendent. • Dr. Kelly Gillespie will return to the district on April 18 to check on calibration and seek our input for revisions for 2013-2014. • Data will be reviewed with Newton NEA, BOE, and staff and goals will be established for 2013- 2014. • This year’s data will be deleted and beginning next year the data will be collected, archived annually, and utilized to drive decisions.

Building administrators, Stacy Smith, and Sheila Wendling will present some specific information at the meeting.

3. Proposed Technology Budget for 2013-14

A requirement to submit applications for e-rate funding is the development and approval of a technology budget that covers the funding year in the application. Work has begun to prepare applications for the funding year that begins July 1, 2013. Below is the proposed budget for 2013-14, prior to any reimbursements received through the e-rate process. It is basically the same as the budget for the current year, and does not include any technology budget items in the special education cooperative fund. There will be some additional purchases of technology from building budget allotments, but due to unknown needs or funds available those potential expenditures are not included in this budget.

4. USD 373 2013-2014 School Calendar

Development of the calendar is typically the responsibility of the superintendent. A district’s calendar is approved by the board of education and is NOT mandatorily negotiable. However, particular calendar components might be – such as length of spring break, holidays, work days, and professional development days.

This year, in part as a result of negotiations, the district ended up with three different calendars – one calendar for high school, one for 5-8 schools, and one for PreK-4 schools. This has created numerous issues – students not coming to school when scheduled, students coming to school when not scheduled, parents confused about when students were supposed to be in or out of school, and multiple schedules for transportation and food service.

While I believe the intentions behind the decisions regarding multiple calendars were good, I do not believe the resulting issues are good for students, parents, or the overall effectiveness of the district. Therefore, I will be recommending one calendar for all schools for the 2013-2014 school year.

Developing a calendar can be a time-consuming and frustrating experience. I have no desire to invite people to participate in discussions around the calendar if I already have ideas in mind that I would say are not subject to change. So before I invite others to participate in the discussion, I would like to engage the board in a discussion of the possibilities for support around several things I think must be a part of the calendar for the upcoming year.

In order for the district to be prepared for the complete implementation of new standards, new evaluation tools and processes, and new accreditation model, the calendar must include ample time for collaboration and professional learning. Each of the changes previously outlined when considered independently would create a need for substantial professional development and licensed staff time for preparation and effective implementation. Collectively, they necessitate changes in how we use time during the school year and school day. Therefore, I would like to develop district calendar that • provides for weekly late start on Wednesdays with school starting at 9:00 a.m. in each school. This time would be used for team, grade level, or building content level collaboration. Late start would replace early dismissal at the high school and monthly three-hour collaboration time at the elementary school. It would provide time for teachers at the middle school and 5/6 center that is currently not in the schedule. Expectations for how this time is used will be developed with administration and Newton NEA. This will require a change in the negotiated agreement. Each of the elementary schools currently runs a latchkey program and it may be necessary to provide this option for parents. Late start days is a concept that is available in many districts and has been successfully implemented with little conflict with parents once the schedule begins. Initially there may be some concern about childcare, but my personal experience would indicate that the concern dissipates over time. • reduces the number of student contact days by a minimum of five (5) days and a maximum of ten (10) days and increases the number of professional learning days respectively. This would be a one-time change in the number of student contact days in order to support the needs for professional learning as a result of changes in standards and evaluation processes. The board has total control over the designation of student contact days except that a minimum of 1,116 instructional hours are required in an academic year. In counting hours to meet the requirement, ½ of professional learning time is allowed, all of time allotted to parent teacher conferences is allowed, and, of course, each day students are in class is counted. Once again, elements of this would have to be negotiated due to current agreement language. However, in every meeting, teachers and administrators have expressed concern over the availability of time to plan and implement the abovementioned changes.

325 • maintains the greatest number of complete weeks for student learning by strategically placing professional days. For example, the district currently provides three (3) days for Thanksgiving Break, it might be worthwhile to consider having two (2) days of professional learning prior to the break. Another example might be to front-load professional learning by having additional days at the beginning of the school year before students arrive or at the end of the school year after student dismissal. There are concerns over both of these as teachers want to be in classrooms at the beginning of the year and are ready for summer at the end of the year. Research regarding the effectiveness of professional learning clearly indicates that follow-up and job-embedded time is essential to receiving the greatest benefit in the form of improved student achievement and instructional practices.

It is important to note that one factor that was a consideration and led to the three calendars was the inequity of elementary planning time. While I do not believe the solution addressed the expressed need/issue, the solution did provide elementary teachers with collaboration time in excess of time available to middle and high school teachers.

I would anticipate meeting with parents (either at PTO meetings or Site Council meetings) to discuss a calendar developed with these elements.

I would ask that board members discuss these components and provide feedback regarding the level of support that I could expect regarding these elements. The calendar that is included in the board packet IS NOT a DRAFT. It is only a reference for the board to look at when considering the three elements presented this evening. Following the discussion at the board meeting, I will develop a draft calendar or calendars and call together the Professional Day Committee and the Elementary Planning Committee as required by the negotiated agreement.

5. Protocol for Board Member Reports

It has been mentioned several times that there is not a process in place for board members to share information gathered from various boards on which individual board members serve, or from On Board meetings, or from professional development opportunities such as the recent KASB Convention.

I have the following suggestions:

• board members will utilize the "Board Member Report" form developed to type in information that is important to be shared with the entire board. • confidential information will not be shared with the board in such a manner that the information becomes public (i.e., confidential information will not be included in the board packet and should be sent directly to the superintendent or board clerk for distribution to the board)

Board members can complete the form at any time they attend a function and wish to share information with the board. A caution would be that these forms should relate directly to the work of the board and the school district mission. Some information is just nice to know but would not be of interest to the entire board. You may want to discuss the types of information that you would like to have.

If everyone completes the reports, all members of the board would have access to information, could read it at a time that is convenient, and these reports would not take time at the board table. However, the individual board member will still be able to request that topics appear on the agenda of a board meeting for more discussion or information.

The form is just a starting point and can easily be modified to make a more meaningful document. I have completed a sample for you so that you can have a picture of what it might look like.

Meeting or Activity Attended: Pre-Conference, November 30; KASB Convention, Topeka, KS – December 1-2, 2012

Information to Share with Entire Board: Pre-Conference – Kansas School Superintendents Association • Reviewed College and Career Ready Definition – the language will be shared with KSDE and KASB, which are also working on definitions that will guide future accountability expectations • Heard from Ken Willard regarding Governor’s Efficiency Task Force – possible recommendations will include statewide student data management system, statewide fiscal management system, and county-wide superintendents. Next meeting – December 10 – after which the task force will make its report to the governor. • Two district superintendents shared what their districts are doing to prepare for implementation of common core state standards. I did pick up a couple of ideas that I will share with Sheila. • KASB Conference • New information on bullying – some minor changes in law and I will be sharing this information with building administrators. • Session on strategic communications and audits – I will share additional information later. • Very information session from Andover schools - Improving Classrooms, Communications and Costs with Technology – will use this information with district level administration • KSDE School Finance Update – more information to follow • What Matters Most: Critical Factors to Enhancing Student Achievement – 3 sessions facilitated by Dr. Brian Jordan with KASB – excellent information regarding the importance of quality leadership at the board, district, and building level. Also shared information regarding evaluation systems that will be helpful as we move forward with our own evaluation system changes – evaluations must be formative, focus system on research-based practices and provide guidance for growth. We need to identify effective professional practices, communicate the selected practices and set expectations for performance, growth plans should identify the next steps for individuals, and set expectations for professional development. Question: Are the behaviors on which teachers and principals will be judged strongly correlated with high levels of student learning and achievement? In the last session, Dr. Jordan suggested 5 questions that boards should ask: 1) Do we have high expectations for student learning and a culture of inquiry focused on improvement?; 2) Do we have high quality standards and assessments

He cautioned that boards must maintain a balcony view – providing the vision and direction for the district (the what) and allow for the administration to determine the steps to achieve the vision (the how). These particular sessions resonated with me and I will be seeking consensus to move forward with some type of strategic planning and goal setting late in the spring or early summer.

Higher level questioning for all my students. challenged me to think through what tasks I'm asking children to do Children who have difficulty with some of the lower level thinking skills (knowledge/remembering) may still be capable of some of the higher level thinking skills. psychomotor categories wording of questions I already had a pretty good understanding of Bloom's Taxonomy. The initial website is a great resource! I think the posters are a great idea! the websites

337 Always push for more thinking and remember to think about their thinking. It is important to be systematic to ensure deep learning. Different questions to ask student to engage them in higher learning. I remember that there are new levels of Bloom's. I also remember that just because it states a certain word that does not mean it is part of that level of Bloom's (ex/create). Finally, I remember that Bloom's is going to be very beneficial when it comes to common core. Just to change up my wording, etc. when questioning. verbs and questions from posters and charts helpful for prompting the different levels of thinking Attended specials meeting Going to "bump up" the level of my questioning in Guided Reading. I don't want to foster " I choose C" students Remember to challenge students at as many levels as possible Use the question stems in my classroom. That students with spec. needs can do higher level thinking. The Think Tac Toe model seemed useful. The websites will be usedful if I can find enough time to look through them. I will probably be doing some of the activities with the families I work with and not necessarily the children. Important to think about the higher level questions when planning the lesson It is important to always try to get students to engage in an activity using a higher level of thinking. I would like to work to ensure I am trying to get at higher levels of thinking even though in my role I have only a very limited amount of classroom instruction time. When I meet with students individually I think I work hard to help student learn to problem solve, but I want to consciously try to ensure I am creating an environment for learning in these 1:1 interactions. Some of the websites will be helpful for additional help and ideas Take something that you feel is already going well and work to make it more complex. Push kids to the next level. Did not attend I learned that there are lots of web sites available for those who wish to learn more about it. I felt the information regarding the web info was helpful and the sheets listing verbs and questions will be useful. How to decipher between questions/activities that may sound like they are in one level of thinking but are actually in a different level. How to challenge your kids with asking appropriate questions. Remember to include higher level thinking in activities The levels. Many activities can be modified to meet higher levels by tweaking them slightly or modifying the student product The flip chart is helpful in asking higher level questions There were fantastic ideas we could use and implement immediately. Think Tic Tac Toe-good idea for differentiated instruction to ask students to think more at higher levels

338 The websites to go to. I'm already very familiar with bloom's, although I'll bet a lot of the new teachers are not. I am not happy about the transition between the two meetings. One group was to leave at 9:45 but evidently the speaker didn't know that or the time keeper failed to tell her. the other group was having to park aways away, congestion getting out was a safety issue. It's important to really analyze questions, since we may think that certain key words move the question or task to a higher level, but that may not be the case. Always pushing students to the higher level thinking, even if they struggle with the basics. It is important to keep in mind student thought processes rather than just the activities you provide and expect to be higher level thinking. posters, use caution and analyze my choices Resource Sites The importance of really analyzing our words that we use. The undrstanding that all students are able to access higher level questions. Higher level questioning, tic tac toe choices That Bloom's higher levels should be taught to all not just those on or above level. The Bloom's Taxonomy web site with verbs and model questions. N/A The level has most to do with what the student is doing in the thinking process than the activity that the child is doing. The websites will be helpful I hope. I am trying to use the handouts as I form the key questions. That I can take a question that is at a lower level and change it to make it stronger. I will be thinking about questions that I ask my students more deliberately to see if I can't take their learning higher. I'd like to remember to use the websites and activities (Think Tac Toe) that were mentioned by Ginger. online resources available to help with planning lessons & that just because a question says create it may not be on the "create" level of Blooms I appreciated getting the online flip-chart for the updated Bloom's. Nice to have worksheet with ideas I feel like the "Bloom's Taxonomy "Revised" Keywords, Model Questions, & Instructional Strategies" reference that we were given today will be very helpful and useful to me in my lesson planning. It can be applied to discussion questions as well as projects or assignments. A refresher of the different steps of Blooms Taxonomy Sometimes just using the vocab does not make your question a higher level question. We need to really know what we are teaching in order to incorporate the higher level questions. To be purposeful in planning and questioning. Take time to make it valuable. Use online resources that were shown at the presentation. Nothing? There was nothing really new, just a lot of web resources given to us and some paper copies of the revised Bloom's taxonomy Where I can find the BT flipchart. The great resources! That when I am teaching a lesson to bring in those higher level thinking questions as well as higher level activites.

339 Give kids choices Give kids choices to use the language with the students to remember that all children will benefit How to make questions or activities more difficult or to a deeper level of thinking. Differentiating for students, I liked the handouts with key vocabulary Activities walking us though the steps. The online resources that were shared. Just saying "create" doesn't make it higher-level thinking. To try incorporate the vocabulary How to alter tasks/questions to fit different levels of Bloo's hierarchy. How to be intentional about what I am teaching: just understanding or maybe I want the kids to analyze because we've already mastered the knowledge piece. Give choices to kids To incorporate higher level questions now, rather than try to get basic information "memorized" first in every lesson. Taking questions and changing them to make them higher thinking The internet websites to use. They were awesome! The websites to access differientiating strategies. ------

6. What additional Bloom’s Taxonomy information, resources, or strategies would you find helpful?

more info on using it at my current grade level, liked that we were divided by grade levels like we were, think that is great and helpful, would have liked more specific suggestions; 2 hours felt pretty rushed not sure I'm not sure Time to incorporate the information and use in subjects Continuing to find ways to incorporate all of this information for primary children/younger students. Question stems for early education. I liked the posters that the presenter showed. More activity ideas for each level that are appropriate for our grade level. The list of links that was provided will be helpful I felt that many resources were shared that will be exrememly helpful. I would like to see the higher level thinking strategies demonstrated at specific grade levels. That way I can get a better idea of what it looks like. another session from Ginger would be helpful We have been given many useful web resources. It might be helpful to have more specific suggestions for activities at the preschool level. none right now Rubrics for assessment I dont know All the internet apps and resources look great! Ways it applies to preschoolers.

340 It would be helpful if we had resources to use at building level.Like presenters ideas but felt like it would take me hours to find what I need on the internet or come up with my own tic tac toe boards etc. A bit more of a training where you could see each level in use and how that benefits student learning. I am concerned that I do not meet the higher levels of Bloom's often enough in my classroom, or maybe not even at all. I would rather have additional resources on writing and shared reading. attended specials meeting Think Tac Toe lessons and rubrics for assessment Can't think of any I would like a flip chart or smaller/neater "cheat-sheet" of blooms words and question stems. How to apply Bloom's questioning to some of the basic foundations that I already teach. Some premade Think Tac Toe options to give to my highest students in Math and Reaidng. I would like to get on the site and see what is available for my ipad. none Further time to collaborate with others about how they ensure they are incorporating higher level thought processes into their teaching. More ways on how to implement in the classroom at the lower level. Access to Ginger's files of activities. NA None at this time I plan on looking at the web site info to see what is there that might be helpful with preschool curriculum. Strategies, activity ideas, and resources although the resources Ginger gave are wonderful. Visuals to reference during teaching. Websites for children websites Just need time to think through all this More practice and actually writing lesson plans None, she gave us so many different ways of seeing and understanding Bloom's online and on paper. More activities or examples of choice Bloom's Taxonomy ideas for KDG posters, could nto find them yet unless I registered at a site i can't believe I finally threw out my old bloom's stuff because the district would not use it anymore, just to find out that what goes around comes back around. It would be helpful to have examples of the terms to use for younger students that they would be able to understand. Time to plan projects, activities, and lessons using this information. The online resources will be very helpful. additional practice and training More Technology Would love more primary examples. The continued research and understanding of Blooms.

341 time to put it into plans What this questioning strategy looks like in the classroom in an example lesson. I am still puzzled on how to go to evalulate and create levels with lower level learners. N/A More time to explore the online resources. Time to play with the websites. I would like some question stems that have terms for lower grades. I think she mentioned going deeper with information and activities so I'd like to hear more. Also, we needed more time to implement or work on revising our questions to use in our classroom. Ideas on a more elem. level. Like Tic Tac Toe - kids could not read some of the items. How could I use this at a prereading level. I would like to see more examples of how to apply higher levels to primary grades (K-1) Since this was suppose to be a day long activity will she be coming back to present more? Further inservice time later in the year to refresh ourselves and ask questions after we have had time to practice and use the information we have learned today. Question stems that have more appropriate vocabulary for primary grades. Someone that could sit down with our grade level and help come up with Higher Level Activities/Questions for our units. Time with fellow teachers to work through lessons and formulating questions. Primary grade questioning/ideas for the Bloom's levels. Specialized training for how to use Bloom's in Kindergarten is needed. This presentation was not sufficient. none Time to work with it. just time to go through the materials and the websites that were given today. Lots of good and valuable resources within those resources. I already am fairly familiar with Bloom's. Use the flip chart to move up on the Bloom's Use the flip chart to move up on the Bloom's idea sharing time with fellow teachers NA Continued practice There is so much on the Internet that extra resources are not needed. More resources online. websites, think tac toe more training The presenter gave us tons of resources, I won't have enough time to look through it all! The Webb's deeper knowledge Think Tac Toe choice boards are awesome! can we print off the the flip chart? None at this time. ------

342 7. At your building professional time, what important points did you take away from the activities?

Slate Creek's Aimsweb scores compared to the district and possible reasons and changes we need to make. 1. we are actually doing more of this than we realized 2. it is frustrating to be graded on an ewalk through b/c what are the odds that in a 5 minute visit this whole process will be observed as a "Bloom's" process being used. major concern. new ideas for lessons, community contacts and strategies for working with ind's & families there are many outside factors that we, as teachers, cannot control, that negatively affect student learning Information on what has changed in the taxonomy and reviewing the 6 areas of the taxonomy Good information from the Sunflower Project--Importance of incorporating reading and writing. Motivating students can be increased by knowing their interests and helping them set goals rather than the teacher making the goals. Internal motivation is better than rewarding students all the time. Our building's needs that are in-building and out-of-building needs. When we were setting out building smart goal, how can we all help students to become more successful. What our SMART goal is for this year. Something that I took away from the MTSS Symposium presentation notes was that accuracy is first, then fluency, and then comprehension (good reinforcement). Also, to help increase vocabulary for students with a limited vocabulary, using a dictionary designed for ELLs is helpful. A good resource to use for communication with peers. looked at AIMSweb data and talked about ways to support each grade level's needs Refinement of vision statement, mission statement, and goals for the new blended programs at Cooper. Ways to figure out how to help the kids who aren't at grade level. building goals, google docs google docs Do elementary kids have accounts? Good info about staff roles and responsibilities, mission statement etc Keep working as a team. And be open We have a mission and vision which clarifies our roadmap and our destination. How to use googledocs. Learning about google docs and how to use them, beneficial since more and more is coming through google docs. GoogleDocs was a very valuable presentation. We will be using that form of communication more frequently in our future professional setting. So that was useful. frustration with Aimsweb being used as the measuring tool for achievement in 1st grade which does not correlate with Guided Reading strategies and instruction practice with googledocs That we are measuring our students reading ablities using only AimsWeb for our our smart goal benchmark. Feel this is an extremly limited tool to measure reading ability. NA

343 Looking over our needs assessment, where NR has grown, and what needs still need to be addressed. googledocs will allow us to communicate more efficiently. That Google docs is not that hard and I should be able to use it. It was nice to be able to have time to work on our mission and vision now that we have blended preschool classrooms. It was also beneficial to begin making objects to reach our goals. How to better use Google Docs That there are resources available to help guide teachers as they work in incorporate Common Core standards into their ELA time. Since I am not in the classroom it was helpful to hear a little about the demands on teachers as it pertains to Common Core requirements and ELA specifics. discussed ways of implementation to lessons and some instructional strategies A clearer understanding of where we are in the headstart process. Looked at our school needs and addresed what our school needs to focus on We are moving right along at developing our mission statements and teaching Strategies. I thought this info was helpful for new teachers. That the strategies I am using for my whole group and guided reading groups are researched proven to help students read. Discussing meeting guidelines. Talked about how we use strategies to differentiate learning. mission statement Great ideas, we can do this, need time to plan More info on ELA and Common Core The reminder that reading is more than reading quickly, it needs to involve voice and speeding up and slowing down as the text demands. How to scaffold activities and lessons with higher order thinking in mind. information from state as pertains to ELA is nothing new There seems to be very little that is in building control and a whole lot "out" of building. We need to be mindful of incorporating listening, speaking, and writing along with reading in our students' literacy experiences. I did not find out building professional time very useful. We revisited our Mission, Vision, and Values. We read parts of the Sunflower Literacy Project document. That Writing and Reading are very much correlated. Time to collaborate on important activities Reading and writing are connected That we need to think about accuracy, rate and prosody when speaking of fluency. Addressing the most importantance of the schools needs survey. Evaluating the priorities of the needs survey. essential elements for literacy Examined AIMs web data with progress monitoring to rearrange our 'buzz' time groups. The needs we have in the building and how will we find solutions to them. The importance of writing in education. More questions about the data and confirming that the core instruction needs to be our focus.

344 We were able to give reasons for our mission as it stands. As we began to share insights from the BIG article, several points were noteworthy. That we are doing a lot of things right. That the ELA time is very important and that reading, writing, speaking and listening skills should all be woven together to help students learn the content, remember it longer and understand it better. The district is far below 80% fluency according to the Aimsweb data. Our core instruction doesn't seem strong enough and kids need to come to school with a stronger grasp of skills. All of us need to go deeper with teaching skills to our students. Sunflower literacy components/ideas for common core, our mission, vision, and values statements. That it is good to have writing in relation to reading to support the reading. Informative to look over AIMS web data The interdependence of the foundations of learning and how they work together. What we can do as a building team to improve our school. What the highest needs in and out of building are. Reading and writing can fit together in ELA time if kids are given greater amounts of time for reading development Reinforcing what is essential reading components and teaching practices. We have a lot of work to do to meet building smart goals and faculty impression of needs is consistent across grade levels. AIMSweb results and comparisons Sunflower Literacy Project What the top needs of our school is and which ones can be addressed in house and which ones are out of our hands. Using google docs Needs outside of our control are greater than ever for students! Needs outside of our control are greater than ever for students! how to integrate technology Smart goals designed by the teachers and the needs for the building in order to be successful. N/a How to analyze the questions and tasks we are asking of students to make them higher level thinking activities. vocabulary and the web sites given by presenter that are helpful Generated lots of good discussion about the need for resources generated towards multi-subject integration in learning. Schoo improvement plan Incorporating more higher level activities (versus discussion questions) in the daily lessons. With the resources the speaker provided, it is going to be easier to implement than I thought.

9. What information, material, or strategies would you like to see presented at future professional times?

As the social worker, the material presented was not as valuable due to my lessons are shorter. I stayed after to discuss what key points those of us that only go in to classrooms for short amount of times or do groups should focus on. Presenter did say that the strategies were more for classroom teachers. not sure more time for classroom collaboration Smart Board/Mimio activities Time to explore the activities and our learning. I'd like more training on technology resources and how to use ipads in the classroom. Writing ideas appropriate for our grade level. More time to work collaboratively on ways to apply what has already been presented. Time to develop higher level thinking questions based on grade level outcomes, peer review of those questions, and reliable and valid ways to assess while avoiding bias (rubrics? looking process or outcome? Holistically or Analytically?) Writing curriculum ideas. writing More information about the importance of the following in MTSS: (a) specific research-based interventions implemented with fidelity; (b) progress monitoring that measures the specific skill(s) being taught; (c) modifications of interventions that are not effective; and (d) appropriate trend lines & goals for improvement. (These would be more relevant to my other schools as I am assigned to more than one school.) Assessments materials for higher level thinking projects none. I would prefer to work in my room In depth TS gold and more time to talk about children Information about TS Gold and preschool assessment.

346 More info on common core standards. I am still very concerned about more training on folktales, fables, and myths for common core. I also would like to see more writing training for common core. Writing lessons. Shared reading lessons. Or time to create our own lessons. Please do not take away the researched based DRA which correlates with Guided Reading strategies and instruction to help the student read successfully and be assessed at his instructional level more details on Common Core standards so that I can help support those standards as a specials teacher info on how to troubleshoot technology issues when covering in another's classroom. I would like info available like we have for emergency information posted somewhere (same location for all rooms) in room or on teacher desk None come to mind Time to break apart the Common Core standards, see what resources I have that support them and then research resources to assist us teach them. More work with common core and the time to really discuss what the ELA standards mean. Information on how to handle hard to handle students. open Sensory issues Time to discuss our needs and how we can improve on these needs Discussions from the support group might be good, especially OT and Speech. Resources and strategies on how to integrate more technology, even if we don't have much to work with. Work Plans/duties State assessment preparation Unknown

Kagan Strategies looks and sounds like we need more technology in teachers and students hands Start on time, end on time. appreciate the time to collaborate with grade level teachers in my building. Not sure we need more on Bloom's. More examples of Bloom's questions at a lower level. More information on Reading Strategies and Common Core, specifically with differentiated instruction in guided reading, but also Whole Group Reading. Writing Instruction guidance and resources. Kagen or other collaborative ideas for primary level grade. I dislike going to a training that is suitable for 4-12 grades with a directive to adapt to k-1 Time ie. a work day to work and prepare lessons Concrete ways of incorporating technology into instruction and practice with students. Common Core behavior, writing with the cc Technology; Grant writing to help purchase necessary technology; Can't think of any at this time.

347 More information on Bloom's. Also, integrating science into reading activities. More subject specific topics. Guidance on what materials would be helpful to strengthen our core and materials to strengthen fluency would be something that might be useful to us. More time to work with peers on common core ideas, strategies, lessons, etc. at our grade level. As noted above, it would be helpful to see some good examples of projects, activities and questions for k-1 for the higher levels of Bloom's taxonomy. A speaker that came before school that talked on writing. More Bloom's Taxonomy How to use AIMSWeb data to drive instruction and how to better prepare students to meet AIMSWeb benchmarks. Refresher on Cooperative Learning More time with District Grade Level to work on common core standards Scheduling Follow up with Bloom's. Things targeted to needs Unsure I would really like to see us working on aligning our language arts to common core so that everyone knows what to teach and how and so that we are doing in a similiar way. Smart board and iPad training Smart board and iPad training time to investigate and practice integration of technology in lessons, activities, brain breaks NA Continued information. This was very good as it was applicable to all professionals in various fields More expansion on this topic! More resources to meet common core standards. writing more on bloom's taxonomy I am looking to the follow-up presentation to this. I need more help professional development on writing. So many of my students just aren't making the leap to good paragraph writers. They just can't integrate all the steps and when I break it into parts for them, they are not learning how to be independent writers. Common core strategies for writing and math More information on the Depth of Knowledge if that is what we are being expected to use here in USD 373. time to work on looking at our lesson plans and adjusting them to meet the higher level thinking skills. No suggestions at this time.
