The Board is asked to adopt Resolution COP-27-01 authorizing up to $205 million in Certificates of Participation, Series 2026A. The financing will fund certain facilities and designated equipment leased to the School Board, with a negotiated sale to underwriters. Once issued, this debt will bankroll major capital projects and large equipment buys across the district, so vendors in construction, MEP systems, security, and large technology or bus fleets should anticipate new funded work packages.

Resolution covers financing; specific COP-funded projects will appear later in capital plans and bid documents.
