5.5 Long-Term Facility Debt The Project Consultants examined the annual financial reports (audits) of the School District of Bruce, Ladysmith-Hawkins School District, and Weyerhaeuser Area School District for the 2007-08 organizational year to ascertain the extent of long-term facility debt, including bonds, refunding bonds, and State Trust Fund Loans. Table 19-B reveals that the School District of Bruce’s long-term facility debt (refunding bonds and State Trust Fund Loans) obligation at the conclusion of the 2007-08 school year amounted to $1,886,486 (principal), $753,307 (interest), and $2,639,793 (total). TABLE 19-B SCHOOL DISTRICT OF BRUCE LONG-TERM FACILITY DEBT 2007-08 District Principal Interest Total Bruce $1,886,486 $753,307 $2,639,793 *Margin of Indebtedness: $30,521,012 The School District of Bruce’s 2007 equalized valuation was $324,074,978. With a debt limit (10% of 2007 equalized value) of $32,407,498 and longterm (principal) debt of $1,886,486, the organization’s margin of indebtedness was $30,521,012. The Project Consultants concluded that the School District of Bruce’s longterm facility debt—when compared to the organization’s margin of indebtedness—was minimal. © Roger Worner Associates, Inc. 142
