# DYRSD School Committee Meeting 10/26/26

The Dennis-Yarmouth Regional School Committee held a special meeting on October 26, 2026, to approve short-term financing for the district’s school building project. Four underwriting firms submitted bids, and the committee unanimously approved the winning bid from Jefferies for $11.1 million in general-obligation bond anticipation notes at 4.25%, with a reported premium of approximately $115,110. The district’s credit rating was reaffirmed at AA+, and the notes received an SP-1 rating. The committee also authorized related financing documents and post-issuance procedures to monitor compliance with IRS spending guidelines.

The district said this is a renewal of short-term borrowing while it awaits final Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) project closeout and audit figures. MSBA funds still being held, a pending lawsuit, and a remaining project-account balance may reduce the amount ultimately borrowed and charged to taxpayers; the final borrowing need has not yet been determined. No other procurement actions were identified.
