CHARTER SCHOOL CAPITAL’S FACILITIES SUPPORT
• Helped purchase, manage more than 40 school facilities in past 10 years
• Developed flexible facilities platform and ecosystem of world-class partners
• Created a tax-exempt, no-cost bond option for charter school buildings
The California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank has
agreed to serve as conduit issuer for $100 million of revenue bonds
to support an Oregon nonprofit’s purchase of several charter school
buildings in California.
The IBank board approved on Oct. 28 the request from Wonderful
Foundations.
The unrated tax-exempt and taxable deal will be the foundation's
second bond sale through the IBank. IBank was also the conduit
issuer on $185 million in revenue bonds sold July 30.
Citi is lead manager. The bonds will be sold as a limited offering to
qualified institutional buyers in minimum denominations of
$100,000. The bonds, which are expected to close on Dec. 22,
would have maturities up to Dec. 1, 2061.

Structures and Approach

8
FACTORS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER WHEN
THINKING ABOUT FACILITIES FINANCING
• Eventual ownership
• Term length
• Lease renewals
• Buyout options / refinancing
options
• Control over building
improvements / expansions
• Payment structure
• Payment amount
• Expenses
• Covenants
How should school leaders
think about these factors?

OUR FRAMEWORK FOR EVALUATING FACILITIES
FINANCING
• The ability to adapt
and change
• Offers different
options
• Predictable
• Constant
• Permanent
• Price paid to
acquire or maintain
• What you give up
(opportunity cost)

HOW WE THINK ABOUT FACILITIES FINANCING
STRUCTURING: FLEXIBILITY VS. STABILITY
What increases flexibility:
• Shorter terms
• Buyout options
• Lease renewals
• Lack of covenants
• Ability to expand / upgrade /
relocate
What increases stability:
• Ownership
• Longer terms
• Fixed / predictable payments

HOW DO WE THINK ABOUT COSTS?
Facilities Financing Case Study:
• $5mm Building Value (Purchase Price)
Traditional Bond Option:
• Bond @ 6% interest rate
• 15% cost of issuance (capitalized)
• 10-year lockout period
CSC Lease Option:
• Lease @ 7% rental rate (of purchase
price)
• 2% annual escalators
• Buyout in year 3 & year 10

HOW DO WE THINK ABOUT COSTS?: OTHER
CONSIDERATIONS
• $s today are worth more than $s tomorrow
• Does the structure allow for the flexibility to borrow additional funds to fuel
growth
• As you give up options, you pay an opportunity cost, should market rates
improve
