Hot Topics in School Finance: PILOTS, Equipment Lease Purchase, Bond Repayments
This session will cover three timely topics: 1) How to use equipment lease financing to provide a continuous source of funds for equipment purchases; 2) Payments in lieu of taxes (PILOTS) and how school districts might be able to benefit from this financing tool and; 3) How to structure bond repayments in order to minimize the impact on taxpayers.
