7.C. State Aid Loan Resolution
Description:
Each year, the board borrows money for cash flow purposes due to the state aid payments coming later in the year. All school districts in Michigan that do not have a large enough fund equity to meet district payroll for the first few months utilize this means for cash flow.
Expenses at the beginning of the school year are covered by the state aid loan until state aid payments become available. The borrowing is against these future state aid payments. The amount authorized to borrow will be up to $1.7 million and the money will be borrowed from August 2024 to August 2025. It is recommended that the money be borrowed through the Michigan Finance Authority. The Michigan Finance Authority pools loans from Michigan Schools to get the best rate available. The resolution was provided in board packets.
