$585 MILLION IN LOW-COST FINANCING FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE

From the office of Governor Andrew Cuomo

Bond Proceeds Support Facility Upgrades to Help Students Achieve Success

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced approximately $585.2 million in low-cost, tax-exempt bonds has been issued through the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York on behalf of 56 school districts. This financing is the largest pooled school district issuance in DASNY history.

“New York is committed to providing students of all ages with an education that will help them reach their greatest potential,” Governor Cuomo said. “By modernizing academic facilities and learning environments across the state, we are supporting the next generation of leaders and laying the foundation for a stronger, more competitive Empire State.”

“Our schools require the resources and services they need to provide students with a quality education in a productive learning environment,” said Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul. “The nearly $600 million in bonds for school districts across the state will allow districts to upgrade their facilities and address inefficiencies in the classroom. New York is aggressively working to ensure that all students have equal opportunities and are poised for future success.”

The issuance is part of DASNY’s School Districts Revenue Bond Financing Program, which provides public school districts across New York State with an efficient financing alternative. Since the inception of the program in 2002, DASNY has issued 90 separate series of bonds on behalf of more than 200 school districts statewide, providing more than $5 billion in low-interest financing.
