They approved the 2019-2020 Knoxville Home School Assistance Program Handbook as well as set a public hearing date of September 9th at 5:30 pm to discuss the proposed issuance of approximately $4,300,000 school infrastructure sales, services, and use tax revenue refunding bonds. Business Manager Craig Mobley explained to the board that he had received a proposal from Piper Jaffray to issue refunding bonds for outstanding bonds for the Knoxville Performing Art Center project. Mobley told the board the life of the bond debt would not be extended however, the debt would be paid off or refinanced and issuance of the new bonds would save the district close to $116,000.
