The school district in Moorhead is considering the sale of $10 million in bonds to finance skyrocketing retirement benefit costs.
District officials might take advantage of a new law allowing schools and local governments to issue bonds for retiree health insurance costs without first getting taxpayers' approval.
The Moorhead School District is projected to spend more than $740,000 on retiree health benefits this fiscal year, but the annual cost is expected to exceed $1 million by 2014.
