Matthews <br />Director, School Support <br />DATE: October 2, 2009 <br />SUBJECT: Qualified School Construction Bond and Qualified Zone Academy Bond <br />Time Lines <br />Several LEAs have requested an outline of the steps that need to be followed during the <br />Qualified School Construction Bond and Qualified Zone Academy Bond programs. We <br />hope the following will help in this process. This timeline can also be found at <br />www.schoolclearinohouse.oro. Questions may be directed to Mary Gruebnau, School <br />Planning at (919) 807-3556- <br />It has come to our attention that several LEAs have had some difficulty in securing a <br />lender for these bonds. To date on a nationwide basis, the bonds have been purchased <br />by only a handful of buyers, and none by North Carolina banks. For the latest information <br />on securing financing for these tax credit instruments, contact the State Treasurer's staff at <br />the Local Government Commission, 919-807-2350. <br />BJM/mkg <br />CC: LEA Finance Directors <br />County Finance Directors <br />LEA Maintenance Directors <br />OFFICE OF FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS SERVICES <br />Philip W.
