The WIAA is proposing a realignment of state football play, eliminating conferences and grouping schools by size in 7 divisions of 64. Each division would have 8 districts of 8 teams. The proposal would place MG in Division 2, District D with Baraboo (1,018); DeForest (1,043); Monona Grove (934); Oregon (1,231); Reedsburg (889); Sauk Prairie (879); Stoughton (1,091); Waunakee (1,121). Only current Badger South conference opponents Oregon and Stoughton would be in the new district.
If approved the new system would take effect in the fall of 2010.

Hello Anonymous #2,
If you follow your link and go about 2/3 of the way down the DPI page there is a link to "District QSCB Applications Recieved" (sic)*.
If you click on this you will find the application from the MGSD down in Group D. There is a chart that follows a cover letter that shows proposed repairs and improvements that total over $2 million dollars. The award is less than half of that so I would guess the leaking roof at TP will get priority.
*They mispelled "received" not me. It looks bad to see a mispelled word on the DPI website doesn't it?
bill-
thanks.

Thanks Bill. Yes that is correct, the QSCB is essentially an interest free loan available to school districts to build new or upgrade facilities. It is provided by the stimulus bill.
Currently our plans for financing the energy performance improvements is to use a 3% 5-year loan for $571,000 available from Alliant energy and $1.46M in General Obligation Notes at about 3.4%. The QSCB bonds will replace 1/2 the GO notes and save about $160,000 in interest payments (by my figures).
Mark Scullion tells me the Taylor Prairie roof upgrade is going well although it is a big messy job. The entire underside of the roof is being sprayed with polyurethane foam, this means taking down the ceiling in each room.
