The Oldham County Board of Education on Sept. 22 approved a financing plan that authorizes the sale of about $109,000,000 in local bonds to fund construction of the South Oldham High School, with the competitive bond sale scheduled for the following day and a closing date set for Oct. 14.

The approval puts a timeline and financing structure in place after the board previously approved the project’s BG-1 application at its August meeting. Staff member Kelly, a presenter to the board, told trustees the project deposit is about $107,800,000 and that the financing includes a 5% contingency that, per the Kentucky Department of Education, must be held for the project; any unused contingency may be reallocated to other capital projects. Kelly said the district currently expects the bond cost of issuance to be around $2,200,000 and that underwriters’ bids will determine the final interest rate.
