The Bonds will bear interest from date thereof or the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, at a rate or rates not exceeding six per centum (6%) per annum on any Bond in any interest payment period, said interest to be payable on September 1, 2011, and semiannually thereafter on March 1 and September 1 of each year.

The Bonds will be issued as fully registered bonds in Abook-entry only@ form and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”). DTC will act as securities depository for the bonds, and purchasers of the Bonds will not receive certificates representing their interest in the Bonds purchased.
Those Bonds maturing March 1, 2022 and thereafter, will be callable for redemption by the Issuer in full, or in part, at any time on or after March 1, 2021, and if less than a full maturity, then by lot within such maturity, at the principal amount thereof and accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. Bonds are not required to be redeemed in inverse order of maturity. In the event any Bond to be redeemed is of a denomination larger than Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000), a portion of such Bond ($5,000 or any multiple thereof) may be redeemed. Official notice of such call of any of the Bonds for redemption will be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, by notice deposited in the United States mails not less than thirty (30) days prior to the redemption date addressed to the registered owner of each bond to be redeemed at his address as shown on the registration books of the Paying Agent.
The principal of the Bonds, upon maturity or redemption, will be payable at the principal corporate trust office of the Paying Agent upon presentation and surrender thereof, and interest on the Bonds will be payable by the Paying Agent by check mailed by the Paying Agent to the registered owner (determined as of the 15th calendar day of the month next preceding said interest payment date) at the address as shown on the books of said Paying Agent. Said Paying Agent will be a qualified bank or trust company selected by the Issuer.
Except as provided under DTC’s book-entry only system, the Bonds may be transferred, registered and assigned only on the registration books of the Paying Agent, and such registration shall be at the expense of the Issuer. A Bond may be assigned by the execution of an assignment form on the Bonds or by other instruments of transfer and assignment acceptable to the Paying Agent. A new Bond or Bonds will be delivered by the Paying Agent to the last assignee (the new registered owner) in exchange for such transferred and assigned Bonds after receipt of the Bonds to be transferred in proper form. Such new Bond or Bonds must be in the denomination of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) or any integral multiple thereof within a single maturity. Neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent shall be required to issue, register, transfer or exchange (i) any Bond during a period beginning at the opening of business on the 15th day of the month next preceding an interest payment date and ending at the close of business on the interest payment date, or (ii) any Bond called for redemption prior to maturity during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the date of the mailing of a notice of redemption of such Bonds and ending on the date of such redemption.
In connection with the sale of the Bonds, a good faith deposit of 1% of the principal amount of the Bonds will be required. The manner and timing of such deposit shall be set forth in the Preliminary Official Statement for the Bonds. The good faith deposit of the successful bidder or bidders will be deposited and the proceeds credited against the purchase price of the series of Bonds, or in the case of neglect or refusal to comply with such bid, will be forfeited to the Issuer as and for liquidated damages. No interest will be allowed on the amount of the good faith deposit.
Bidders shall name the rate or rates of interest the Bonds shall bear, not exceeding six per centum (6%) per annum on any Bond in any interest payment period. Bids must stipulate a purchase price for the Bonds of the par value thereof and accrued interest from the date of the Bonds to the date of delivery of the Bonds. No bid which specifies cancellation of the Bonds will be considered. No bids providing for additional or supplemental interest will be considered.
The School Board will meet at the place and time hereinabove set forth for the receipt of bids. The Bonds will be awarded to the bidder whose bid offers the lowest “true interest cost” to the Issuer for the full authorized amount of the Bonds, to be determined by doubling the semiannual interest rate (compounded semiannually) necessary to discount the debt service payments on the Bonds from the payment dates to July 1, 2011, such that the sum of such present values is equal to the price bid, including any premium bid but not including interest accrued to the date of delivery (the preceding calculation is sometimes referred to as the “Canadian Interest Cost Method” or “Present Value Method”). In the case of a tie bid, the winning bid will be awarded by lot. If any bid for the Bonds shall be acceptable, a prompt award of the bonds will be made. The right is expressly reserved to waive any irregularity in any bid or to reject any and all bids received.
The Official Statement containing pertinent information relative to the authorization, sale and security of the Bonds is being prepared and may be obtained upon its completion from the Issuer's Bond Counsel, Foley & Judell, L.L.P., One Canal Place, Suite 2600, 365 Canal Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130. The Purchaser will be furnished a reasonable number of final official statements on or before the seventh business day following the sale of the Bonds.
The approving legal opinion of Foley & Judell, L.L.P., Bond Counsel, who have supervised the proceedings, the Bonds and the transcripts of record as passed upon will be furnished to the successful bidders without cost to them. Said transcripts will contain the usual closing proofs, including a certificate that up to the time of delivery no litigation has been filed questioning the validity of the Bonds or the taxes necessary to pay the same.
It is anticipated that the American Bankers' Association Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures (CUSIP) identification numbers will be printed on the Bonds, but the failure to print such numbers shall not constitute cause for refusal by the successful bidder to accept delivery of and to pay for the Bonds. No CUSIP identification number shall be deemed to be part of any Bond or a part of the contract evidenced thereby, and no liability shall hereafter attach to the Issuer or any of the officers or agents thereof because of or on account of such numbers. All expenses in relation to the printing of the CUSIP identification numbers on the Bonds shall be paid by the Issuer. However, the CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of such numbers shall be the responsibility of and shall be paid by the successful bidder.
In order to assist bidders in complying with S.E.C. Rule 15c2-12(b)(5), the Governing Authority will undertake, pursuant to the resolution providing for the issuance of the Bonds and a Continuing Disclosure Certificate, to provide annual reports and notices of certain events. A description of this undertaking is set forth in the Preliminary Official Statement and will also be set forth in the Final Official Statement.
For information relative to the Bonds and not contained in the Notice of Bond Sale and Official Statement, address Mr. Richard Garrett, Business Manager, Ouachita Parish School Board, 100 Bry Street, Monroe, Louisiana 71201, or Foley & Judell, L. L. P., Bond Counsel, One Canal Place, 365 Canal Street, Suite 2600, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130-1138.

NOTICE
The Ouachita Parish School Board met in regular session on Tuesday, April 19, 2011 at six (6:00) o’clock P.M. at its regular meeting place, the Ouachita Parish School Board office.
The following members were present: Bill Norris, Scott Robinson, A. R. Sims, Jerry R. Hicks, John Russell, Carey Walker and Susan Spence. There were none absent.
The Pledge to the Flag was led by Board member Scott Robinson.
The Invocation was given by Purchasing Agent Bobby Jones.
On motion by A. R. Sims, seconded by Bill Norris, the Board unanimously approved the Minutes of March 22, 2011 as written.
On motion by Susan Spence, seconded by A. R. Sims, the Board unanimously approved the revised Agenda as presented.
On motion by A. R. Sims, seconded by Carey Walker, the Board approved the amended Personnel Agenda as submitted, including the changes since mail-out. Motion carried unanimously.
A.R. Sims moved, seconded by Susan Spence, to amend the Agenda to allow the band director of Ouachita Parish High School, Jon Lindsey, to address the Board regarding the Band Uniform Policy. Motion carried unanimously.
Ouachita Parish High School band director, Jon Lindsey, spoke to the Board regarding the need for changing the Band Uniform Policy when purchasing new uniforms for students. He feels that the formula used for the purchase of uniforms today is out of date and insufficient. The prices have gone up periodically which makes it more difficult to replace them. By adding an additional $100.00 per uniform to the formula will enable him to supply his members sufficiently. The present policy provides $375.00 per uniform up to a maximum budget of $75,000 for the larger high schools using an eight-year rotation. Whereby, Carey Walker moved, seconded by Susan Spence, that the Board change the Band Uniform Policy for high school students reflecting an additional $100.00 (per uniform) placed in the band uniform budget.
