Beyond the headlines and sound byte promotions, here are the facts:
 
In 2005, the West Jefferson Hills School District entered into an Interest Rate Swap Program in order to provide a cashflow benefit to the District by exchanging a tax-exempt rate for a taxable rate, which resulted in an upfront cash inflow of $803,100 to the District. This program has allowed the District to realize interest rate savings of approximately $835,000, net of fees, through 9/30/08. Additionally, the District has earned interest income on the upfront payment of these funds.
