The Mid-Prairie School District sold $10 million worth of bonds Monday. The school board went with Robert W Baird & Company of Milwaukee, whose combined interest rate of 2.95% was the lowest of the three bids they received. According to Superintendent Mark Schneider, these bonds and the others they’ll sell in the future will be paid back over 16 years. He says using other resources they’re able to pay back the bonds faster than the usual 20 year time period, saving the district around $1 million in interest. Preparations are being made for the $120,000 heating and air conditioning system at Washington Township Elementary School. It’s the first of several projects to be funded by the bond issue approved by voters in April.
