You might want to run the numbers on that suggestion. It may be that the interest income generated by the $250,000 is greater than the equivalent interest expense on the $250,000 portion of the $13.1 megabucks.
Our finance officer has been playing that game for years. Borrow from the state at approximately 2.0% and put it in the bank at higher than 2.0%. That low borrowing interest rate is only open to school districts–sorry.
