References in this Section to a Certificate or the Certificates shall be construed to mean the
Certificate or the Certificates that are held under the Book-Entry System. One Certificate for each
maturity shall be issued to DTC and immobilized in its custody. Unless otherwise provided herein,
a Book-Entry System shall be employed, evidencing ownership of the Certificates in authorized
denominations, with transfers of beneficial ownership effected on the records of DTC and the DTC
Participants pursuant to rules and procedures established by DTC.

Each DTC Participant shall be credited in the records of DTC with the amount of such DTC
Participant’s interest in the Certificates. Beneficial ownership interests in the Certificates may be
purchased by or through DTC Participants. The holders of these beneficial ownership interests are
herein referred to as the “Beneficial Owners.” The Beneficial Owners shall not receive the
Certificates representing their beneficial ownership interests. The ownership interests of each
Beneficial Owner shall be recorded through the records of the DTC Participant from which such
Beneficial Owner purchased its Certificates. Transfers of ownership interests in the Certificates
shall be accomplished by book entries made by DTC and, in turn, by DTC Participants acting on
behalf of Beneficial Owners. SO LONG AS CEDE & CO., AS NOMINEE FOR DTC, IS THE
REGISTERED OWNER OF THE CERTIFICATES, THE REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT
SHALL TREAT CEDE & CO., AS THE ONLY HOLDER OF THE CERTIFICATES FOR ALL
PURPOSES UNDER THIS RESOLUTION, INCLUDING RECEIPT OF ALL PRINCIPAL OF,
PREMIUM, IF ANY, AND INTEREST ON THE CERTIFICATES, RECEIPT OF NOTICES,
VOTING AND REQUESTING OR DIRECTING THE REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT
TO TAKE OR NOT TO TAKE, OR CONSENTING TO, CERTAIN ACTIONS UNDER THIS
CERTIFICATE RESOLUTION.

Payments of principal, interest, and redemption premium, if any, with respect to the Certificates,
so long as DTC is the only owner of the Certificates, shall be paid by the Registrar and Paying
Agent directly to DTC or its nominee, Cede & Co., as provided in the Letter of Representation.
DTC shall remit such payments to DTC Participants, and such payments thereafter shall be paid
by DTC Participants to the Beneficial Owners. Neither the School District nor the Registrar and
Paying Agent shall be responsible or liable for payment by DTC or DTC Participants, for sending
transaction statements or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing records maintained by DTC or
DTC Participants.

In the event that (1) DTC determines not to continue to act as securities depository for the
Certificates or (2) the School District determines that the continuation of the Book-Entry System
of evidence and transfer of ownership of the Certificates would adversely affect their interests or

14
the interests of the Beneficial Owners of the Certificates, the School District may discontinue the
Book-Entry System with DTC. If the School District fails to identify another qualified securities
depository to replace DTC, the School District shall cause the Registrar and Paying Agent to
authenticate and deliver replacement Certificates in the form of fully registered Certificates to each
Beneficial Owner.

NEITHER THE SCHOOL DISTRICT NOR THE REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT SHALL
HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATIONS TO ANY DTC PARTICIPANT OR ANY
BENEFICIAL OWNER WITH RESPECT TO (i) THE CERTIFICATES; (ii) THE ACCURACY
OF ANY RECORDS MAINTAINED BY DTC OR ANY DTC PARTICIPANT; (iii) THE
PAYMENT BY DTC OR ANY DTC PARTICIPANT OF ANY AMOUNT DUE TO ANY
BENEFICIAL OWNER IN RESPECT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF AND INTEREST ON THE
CERTIFICATES; (iv) THE DELIVERY OR TIMELINESS OF DELIVERY BY DTC OR ANY
DTC PARTICIPANT OF ANY NOTICE DUE TO ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER THAT IS
REQUIRED OR PERMITTED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS CERTIFICATE RESOLUTION
TO BE GIVEN TO BENEFICIAL OWNERS, (v) THE SELECTION OF BENEFICIAL
OWNERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENTS IN THE EVENT OF ANY PARTIAL REDEMPTION
OF THE CERTIFICATES; OR (vi) ANY CONSENT GIVEN OR OTHER ACTION TAKEN BY
DTC, OR ITS NOMINEE, CEDE & CO., AS OWNER.

SO LONG AS A BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM OF EVIDENCE OF TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP

OF ALL THE CERTIFICATES IS MAINTAINED IN ACCORDANCE HEREWITH, THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE DELIVERY OF PHYSICAL
BOND CERTIFICATES SHALL BE DEEMED INAPPLICABLE OR BE OTHERWISE SO
CONSTRUED AS TO GIVE FULL EFFECT TO SUCH BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM. IF THE
PROVISIONS OF THE LETTER OF REPRESENTATION SHALL BE IN CONFLICT WITH
THE PROVISIONS OF THIS RESOLUTION AS SAID PROVISIONS RELATE TO DTC, THE
PROVISIONS OF THE LETTER OF REPRESENTATION SHALL CONTROL.

Section 4.6. Mutilated, Lost, Stolen, or Destroyed Certificates.

(a) In the event any Certificate is mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the School District may
execute, and upon the request of an Authorized Officer of the School District the Registrar and
Paying Agent shall authenticate and deliver, a new Certificate of like maturity, interest rate, and
principal amount, and bearing the same number (but with appropriate designation indicating that
such new Certificate is a replacement Certificate) as the mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen
Certificate, in exchange for the mutilated Certificate or in substitution for the Certificate so
destroyed, lost, or stolen. In every case of exchange or substitution, the Certificateholder shall
furnish to the School District and the Registrar and Paying Agent: (1) such security or indemnity
as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from all risks, however remote; and,
(2) evidence to their satisfaction of the mutilation, destruction, loss, or theft of the subject
Certificate and the ownership thereof. Upon the issuance of any Certificate upon such exchange
or substitution, the School District and the Registrar and Paying Agent may require the Owner
thereof to pay a sum sufficient to defray any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in relation thereto and any other expenses, including printing costs and counsel fees, of the School
District and the Registrar and Paying Agent. In the event any Certificate which has matured or is

15
about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost, or stolen, the School District may,
instead of issuing a Certificate in exchange or substitution therefor, pay or authorize the payment
of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Certificate) if the Owner
thereof shall pay all costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by the School District
and the Registrar and Paying Agent in connection herewith, as well as a sum sufficient to defray
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and shall furnish to
the School District and the Registrar and Paying Agent such security or indemnity as they may
require to save them harmless and evidence to the satisfaction of the School District and the
Registrar and Paying Agent the mutilation, destruction, loss, or theft of such Certificate and of the
ownership thereof.

(b) Every Certificate issued pursuant to the provisions of this section shall constitute an additional
contractual obligation of the School District (whether or not the destroyed, lost, or stolen
Certificate shall be found at any time to be enforceable) and shall be entitled to all the benefits of
this Resolution equally and proportionately with any and all other Certificates duly issued under
this Resolution.

(c) All Certificates shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the provisions of this
Section are exclusive, with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost, or
stolen Certificates, and, to the maximum extent legally permissible, shall preclude all other rights
or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary.

Section 4.7. Authentication.

The Registrar and Paying Agent is hereby authorized to authenticate and deliver the Certificates
to the Underwriter or as it may designate upon receipt by the School District of the proceeds of the
sale thereof, to authenticate and deliver Certificates in exchange for Certificates of the same
principal amount delivered for transfer upon receipt of the Certificate(s) to be transferred in proper
form with proper documentation as hereinabove described. The Certificates shall not be valid for
any purpose unless authenticated by the Registrar and Paying Agent by the manual signature of an
officer thereof on the certificate set forth herein on the Certificate form.

Section 4.8. Qualification for DTC.

The Registrar and Paying Agent is hereby authorized to take such actions as may be necessary
from time to time to qualify and maintain the Certificates for deposit with DTC, including but not
limited to, wire transfers of interest and principal payments with respect to the Certificates,
utilization of electronic book entry data received from DTC in place of actual delivery of
Certificates and provision of notices with respect to Certificates registered by the DTC (or any of
its designees identified to the Registrar and Paying Agent) by overnight delivery, courier service,
telegram, telecopy or other similar means of communication. No such arrangements with DTC
may adversely affect the interest of any of the Owners of the Certificates, provided, however, that
the Registrar and Paying Agent shall not be liable with respect to any such arrangements it may
make pursuant to this section. The Business Manager is hereby authorized to execute the Blanket
Letter of Representation.

16
Section 4.9. Underwriter.

The President and Business Manager are authorized to retain Colliers Securities LLC, Sioux Falls,
South Dakota, as Underwriter upon such terms as they approve.

Section 4.10. Bond Counsel.

The President and Business Manager are authorized to retain Meierhenry Sargent LLP as Bond
Counsel upon such terms as they approve.

Section 4.11. Rating Agency.

The President and Business Manager are authorized to retain the Rating Agency upon such terms
as they approve.

Section 4.12. Dissemination Agent.

The District authorizes the Authorized Officer of the District to retain a dissemination agent with
regard to the written undertaking authorized in Section 9.7 hereof.

Section 4.13. The State Aid Pledge Agreement. The Certificates shall be secured by the State
Aid to Education pursuant to the State Aid Pledge Agreement and this Resolution. The President
and the Business Manager are, or either of them is, hereby authorized to execute, deliver, and
perform the State Aid Pledge Agreement in connection with the offer, sale, and issuance of the
Certificates. The State Aid Pledge Agreement shall be in the form and content acceptable to the
President and Business Manager, the execution thereof by either of them to constitute conclusive
evidence thereof.

ARTICLE V
REDEMPTION OF CERTIFICATES PRIOR TO MATURITY

Section 5.1. Redemption.

The Certificates shall be redeemable as set forth in the Certificate Purchase Agreement.

Section 5.2. Notice of Redemption.

Notice of call for redemption, whether optional or mandatory, shall be given by the Registrar and
Paying Agent on behalf of the District not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days prior
to the date fixed for redemption by sending an appropriate notice to the registered owners of the
Certificates to be redeemed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at the addresses shown on the
bond registration records of the Registrar and Paying Agent as of the date of the notice; but neither
failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any such notice so mailed shall affect the sufficiency
of the proceedings for redemption of any of the Certificates for which proper notice was given. As
long as DTC, or a successor depository, is the registered owner of the Bonds, all redemption
notices shall be mailed by the Registrar and Paying Agent to DTC, or such successor Depository,
as the registered owner of the Bonds, as and when above provided, and neither the District nor the

17
Registrar and Paying Agent shall be responsible for mailing notices of redemption to DTC
Participants or Beneficial Owners. Failure of DTC, or any successor depository, to provide notice
to any DTC Participant or Beneficial Owner will not affect the validity of such redemption. The
Registrar and Paying Agent shall mail said notices, in the case of mandatory redemption of term
Certificates, as and when provided herein and in the Certificates, and, in the case of optional
redemption, as and when directed by the District pursuant to written instructions from an
Authorized Representative of the District given at least forty-five (45) days prior to the redemption
date (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Registrar and Paying Agent).

Section 5.3. Payment of Redeemed Certificates.

(a) If notice of redemption shall have been given in the manner and under the conditions provided
in Section 5.2 hereof and if on the date so designated for redemption the Registrar and Paying
Agent shall hold sufficient monies to pay the redemption price of, and interest to the redemption
date on, the Certificates to be redeemed as provided in this Resolution, then: (1) the Certificates
so called for redemption shall become and be due and payable at the redemption price provided
for redemption of such Certificates on such date; (2) interest on the Certificates so called for
redemption shall cease to accrue; and, (3) such Certificates shall no longer be Outstanding or
secured by, or be entitled to, the benefits of this Resolution, except to receive payment of the
redemption price thereof and interest thereon from monies then held by the Registrar and Paying
Agent.

(b) If on the redemption date, monies for the redemption of all Certificates or portions thereof to
be redeemed, together with interest thereon to the redemption date, shall not be held by the
Registrar and Paying Agent so as to be available therefor on such date, the Certificates or portions
thereof so called for redemption shall continue to bear interest until paid at the same rate as they
would have borne had they not been called for redemption and shall continue to be secured by and
be entitled to the benefits of this Resolution.

ARTICLE VI
REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT

Section 6.1. Appointment and Acceptance of Duties.

(a) The School District hereby authorizes the Business Manager to appoint the
Registrar and Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates and authorizes and directs the
Registrar and Paying Agent to maintain Certificate registration records with respect to the
Certificates, to authenticate and deliver the Certificates as provided herein, either at original
issuance, upon transfer, or as otherwise directed by the School District, to effect transfers of
the Certificates, to give all notices of redemption as required herein, to make all payments of
principal and interest with respect to the Certificates as provided herein, to cancel and destroy
Certificates which have been paid at maturity or upon earlier redemption or submitted for
exchange or transfer, to furnish the School District at least annually a certificate of destruction
with respect to Certificates canceled and destroyed, and to furnish the School District at least
annually an audit confirmation of Certificates paid, Certificates Outstanding and payments
made with respect to interest on the Certificates. The President and the Business Manager, or

18
 either of them is hereby authorized to execute and the Business Manager is hereby authorized
to attest such written agreement between the School District and the Registrar and Paying
Agent as they shall deem necessary or proper with respect to the obligations, duties and rights
of the Registrar and Paying Agent. The payment of all reasonable fees and expenses of the
Registrar and Paying Agent for the discharge of its duties and obligations hereunder or under
any such agreement is hereby authorized and directed.

Section 6.2. Permitted Acts and Functions.

The Registrar and Paying Agent may become the Owner of any Certificates, with the same rights
as it would have if it were not a Registrar and Paying Agent. The Registrar and Paying Agent may
act as a purchaser or fiscal agent in connection with the sale of the Certificates or of any other
securities offered or issued by the School District.
ARTICLE VII
DEFEASANCE OF CERTIFICATES

If the School District shall pay and discharge the indebtedness evidenced by any of the Certificates
in any one or more of the following ways, to wit:

(a) By paying or causing to be paid, by deposit of sufficient funds as and when required with the
Registrar and Paying Agent, the principal of and interest on such Certificates as and when the same
become due and payable;

(b) By depositing or causing to be deposited with any trust company or financial institution whose
deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar federal agency and
which has trust powers (“an Agent”; which Agent may be the Registrar and Paying Agent) in trust
or escrow, on or before the date of maturity or redemption, sufficient money or Federal
Obligations, as hereafter defined, the principal of and interest on which, when due and payable,
will provide sufficient moneys to pay or redeem such Certificates and to pay premium, if any, and
interest thereon when due until the maturity or redemption date (provided, if such Certificates are
to be redeemed prior to maturity thereof, proper notice of such redemption shall have been given
or adequate provision shall have been made for the giving of such notice);

(c) By delivering such Certificates to the Registrar and Paying Agent, for cancellation by it;

and if the School District shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by
the School District with respect to such Certificates, or make adequate provision therefor, and by
resolution of the Governing Body instruct any such Escrow Agent to pay amounts when and as
required to the Registrar and Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest and
redemption premiums, if any, on such Certificates when due, then and in that case the indebtedness
evidenced by such Certificates shall be discharged and satisfied and all covenants, agreements and
obligations of the School District to the holders of such Certificates shall be fully discharged and
satisfied and shall thereupon cease, terminate and become void.

If the School District shall pay and discharge the indebtedness evidenced by any of the Certificates
in the manner provided in either clause (a) or clause (b) above, then the registered owners thereof

19
shall thereafter be entitled only to payment out of the money or Federal Obligations deposited as
aforesaid.

Except as otherwise provided in this Section, neither Federal Obligations nor moneys deposited
with the Registrar and Paying Agent pursuant to this Section nor principal or interest payments on
any such Federal Obligations shall be withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and shall be
held in trust for, the payment of the principal and premium, if any, and interest on said Certificates;
provided that any cash received from such principal or interest payments on such Federal
Obligations deposited with the Registrar and Paying Agent, (A) to the extent such cash will not be
required at any time for such purpose, shall be paid over to the School District as received by the
Registrar and Paying Agent and (B) to the extent such cash will be required for such purpose at a
later date, shall, to the extent practicable, be reinvested in Federal Obligations maturing at times
and in amounts sufficient to pay when due the principal and premium, if any, and interest to
become due on said Certificates on or prior to such redemption date or maturity date thereof, as
the case may be, and interest earned from such reinvestments shall be paid over to the School
District, as received by the Registrar and Paying Agent. For the purposes of this Section, Federal
Obligations shall mean direct obligations of, or obligations, the principal of and interest on which
are guaranteed by, the United States of America, or any agency thereof, obligations of any agency
or instrumentality of the United States or any other obligations at the time of the purchase thereof
are permitted investments under South Dakota Law for the purposes described in this Section,
which Certificates or other obligations shall not be subject to redemption prior to their maturity
other than at the option of the registered owner thereof.

ARTICLE VIII
SALE OF CERTIFICATES AND DEPOSIT OF PROCEEDS

Section 8.1. Sale of Certificates.

The Certificates shall be sold to the Underwriter at a price to be set forth in the Certificate Purchase
Agreement. The President and the Business Manager, or either of them, are authorized to make
such changes in the structuring of the terms and sale of the Certificates as they shall deem
necessary. The form of the Certificate set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto shall be conformed to
reflect any changes, if any, as hereinbefore mentioned. The President and the Business Manager,
or either of them, are hereby authorized to execute and the Business Manager is authorized to attest
the Certificate Purchase Agreement with the Underwriter providing for the purchase and sale of
the Certificates. The Certificate Purchase Agreement shall be in form and content acceptable to
the President and Business Manager, the execution thereof by either of them to constitute
conclusive evidence thereof; provided the Certificate Purchase Agreement effects the sale of the
Certificates in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution and is not inconsistent with the
terms hereof. The President and the Business Manager are authorized to cause the Certificates to
be authenticated and delivered by the Registrar and Paying Agent to the Underwriter and to
execute, publish, and deliver all certificates and documents, including the Official Statement, and
closing certificates and documents, as they shall deem necessary in connection with the sale and
delivery of the Certificates.

20
Section 8.2. Official Statement.

The President, Business Manager, and the Underwriter are hereby authorized and directed to
provide for the preparation and distribution of a Preliminary Official Statement describing the
Certificates (the “Preliminary Official Statement”). After the Certificates have been sold, the
President and Business Manager shall make such completions, omissions, insertions and changes
in the Preliminary Official Statement not inconsistent with this Resolution as are necessary or
desirable to complete it as a final Official Statement for purposes of Rule 15c2-12(e)(3) of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

To comply with paragraph (b) (3) of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”) and with Rule G-32 and all other
applicable rules of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, the School District agrees to

improvements, and (4) the costs of issuing the Certificates.

Section 8.4. Tax Matters.

(a) The School District covenants and agrees with the registered owners from time to time of the
Certificates that it will not take or permit to be taken by any of its officers, employees or agents
any action which would cause the interest on the Certificates to become includable in gross income
for federal income tax purposes under the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations (the
“Regulations”), and covenants to take any and all actions within its powers to ensure that the basic
interest on the Certificates will not become includable in gross income for federal income tax
purposes under the Code and the Regulations.

(b) The President and the Business Manager, being the officers of the District charged with the
responsibility for issuing the Certificates pursuant to this Resolution are hereby authorized and
directed to execute and deliver to the Underwriter thereof a certificate in accordance with the
provisions of Section 148 of the Code, and Section 1.148-2(b) of the Regulations, stating that on
the basis of facts, estimates and circumstances in existence on the date of issue and delivery of the
Certificates, it is reasonably expected that the proceeds of the Certificates will be used in a manner
that would not cause the Certificates to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148 of
the Code and the Regulations.

(c) The District shall file with the Secretary of the Treasury a statement concerning the
Certificates containing the information required by Section 149(e) of the Code.

21
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 hereof, in the event any Certificate shall not be
presented for payment when the principal or redemption price hereof becomes due, either at
maturity or at the date fixed for prior redemption thereof or otherwise, and in the event monies
sufficient to pay such Certificate shall be held by the Registrar and Paying Agent for the benefit
of the Owner thereof, all liability of the School District to such Owner for the payment of such
Certificate shall forthwith cease, determine, and be completely discharged. Whereupon, the
Registrar and Paying Agent shall hold such monies, without liability for interest thereon, for the
benefit of the Owner of such Certificate who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such
monies for any claim under this Resolution or on, or with respect to, said Certificates.

(b) If any Certificate shall not be presented for payment within a period of six years following the
date when such Certificate becomes due, whether by maturity or otherwise, the Registrar and
Paying Agent shall, subject to the provisions of any applicable escheat or other similar law, pay to
the School District any monies then held by the Registrar and Paying Agent for the payment of
such Certificate and such Certificate shall (subject to the defense of any applicable statute of
limitation) thereafter constitute an unsecured obligation of the School District.

Section 9.2. Payments Due on Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays.

In any case where the date of maturity or interest on or principal of any Certificates, or the date
fixed for redemption of any Certificates, shall be a Saturday or Sunday or shall be, at the place
designated for payment, a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions similar to the
Registrar and Paying Agent are authorized by law to close, then the payment of the interest on, or
the principal, or the redemption price of, such Certificate need not be made on such date but must
be made on the next succeeding day not a Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday or a day upon which
banking institutions similar to the Registrar and Paying Agent are authorized by law to close, with
the same force and effect as if made on the date of maturity or the date fixed for redemption, and
no interest shall accrue for the period after such date.

Section 9.3. Miscellaneous Acts.

The appropriate officers of the School District are hereby authorized, empowered, and directed to
do any and all such acts and things, and to execute, acknowledge, deliver, and, if applicable file or

the Certificates.

Section 9.4. Amendment.

impair the rights of the Certificateholders.

individual capacity, and no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on
the Certificates or for any claim based thereon or this Resolution against any officer, director, or

If any one or more of the provisions of this Resolution, or of any exhibit or attachment thereto,
shall be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, by final decree of any court of lawful
jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision
hereof, or of any exhibit or attachment thereto, but this Resolution, and the exhibits and
attachments thereto, shall be construed the same as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable
provision had never been contained herein, or therein, as the case may be.

Section 9.7. Continuing Disclosure.

The School District hereby covenants and agrees that it will provide financial information and
material event notices as required by Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities Exchange Commission for the
Certificates. The President is authorized to execute at the Closing of the sale of the Certificates, an
agreement for the benefit of and enforceable by the owners of the Certificates specifying the details
of the financial information and material event notices to be provided and its obligations relating
thereto. Failure of the School District to comply with the undertaking herein described and to be
detailed in said closing agreement, shall not be a default hereunder, but any such failure shall
entitle the owner or owners of any of the Certificates to take such actions and to initiate such
proceedings as shall be necessary and appropriate to cause the School District to comply with its
undertaking as set forth herein and in said agreement, including the remedies of mandamus and
specific performance.

Section 9.8. Conflicting Resolutions Repealed.

ATTACHMENT TO RESOLUTION ______

Post-Issuance Compliance Policy for Tax-Exempt and
Tax-Advantaged Obligations and Continuing Disclosure

Definitions

“Compliance Officer” means the Business Manager of the Issuer.

“Issuer” means the Mitchell School District 17-2.

Statement of Purpose

This Post-Issuance Compliance Policy (the “Policy”) sets forth specific policies of the Issuer
designed to monitor post-issuance compliance:

(i) with applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”), and regulations promulgated thereunder (“Treasury
Regulations”) for obligations issued by the Issuer on tax-exempt or tax-
advantaged basis (''Obligations”); and

(ii) with applicable requirements set forth in certificates and agreement(s)

(“Continuing Disclosure Agreements”) providing for ongoing disclosure in
connection with the offering of obligations to investors (“Offerings”), for
obligations (whether or not tax-exempt/tax-advantaged) subject to the
continuing disclosure requirements of Rule 15c2-12 (the “Rule”) promulgated
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.

This Policy documents practices and describes various procedures and systems designed to
identify on a timely basis facts relevant to demonstrating compliance with the requirements that
must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of Obligations in order that the interest on such
Obligations continue to be eligible to be excluded from gross income for federal income tax

24
purposes or that the Obligations continue to receive tax-advantaged treatment. The federal tax
law requirements applicable to each particular issue of Obligations will be detailed in the
arbitrage or tax certificate prepared by bond counsel and signed by officials of the Issuer and the
post-closing compliance checklist provided by bond counsel with respect to that issue. This
Policy establishes a permanent, ongoing structure of practices and procedures that will facilitate
compliance with the requirements for individual borrowings.

This Policy similarly documents practices and describes various procedures and systems
designed to ensure compliance with Continuing Disclosure Agreements, by preparing and
disseminated related reports and information and reporting “material events” for the benefit of
the holders of the Issuer's obligations and to assist the Participating Underwriters (within the
meaning of the Rule) in complying with the Rule.

The Issuer recognizes that compliance with pertinent law is an on-going process, necessary
during the entire term of the obligations, and is an integral component of the Issuer's debt
management. Accordingly, the analysis of those facts and implementation of the Policy will
require on-going monitoring and consultation with bond counsel and the Issuer's accountants and
advisors.

General Policies and Procedures

The following policies relate to procedures and systems for monitoring post-issuance
compliance generally.

A. The Compliance Officer shall be responsible for monitoring post-issuance compliance

issues.

B. The Compliance Officer will coordinate procedures for record retention and review
of such records.

C. All documents and other records relating to Obligations issued by the Issuer shall be
maintained by or at the direction of the Compliance Officer. In maintaining such
documents and records, the Compliance Officer will comply with applicable Internal
Revenue Service (“IRS”) requirements, such as those contained in Revenue Procedure
97-22.

D. The Compliance Officer shall be aware of options for voluntary corrections for failure
to comply with post-issuance compliance requirements (such as remedial actions
under Section 1.141-12 of the Regulations and the Treasury's Tax-Exempt Bonds
Voluntary Closing Agreement Program) and take such corrective action when
necessary and appropriate.

E. The Compliance Officer will review post-issuance compliance procedures and systems
on a periodic basis, but not less than annually.

25
Issuance of Obligations - Documents and Records

With respect to each issue of Obligations, the Compliance Officer will:

A. Obtain and store a closing binder and/or CD or other electronic copy of the relevant
and customary transaction documents (the “Transcript”).

B. Confirm that bond counsel has filed the applicable information report (e.g., Form
8038, Form 8038-G, Form 8038-CP) for such issue with the IRS on a timely basis.

C. Coordinate receipt and retention of relevant books and records with respect to the
investment and expenditure of the proceeds of such Obligations with other applicable
staff members of the Issuer.

Arbitrage

The following policies relate to the monitoring and calculating of arbitrage and compliance
with specific arbitrage rules and regulations.

The Compliance Officer will:

A. Confirm that a certification of the initial offering prices of the Obligations with such
supporting data, if any, required by bond counsel, is included in the Transcript.

B. Confirm that a computation of the yield on such issue from the Issuer's financial
advisor or bond counsel (or an outside arbitrage rebate specialist) is contained in the
Transcript.

C. Maintain a system for tracking investment earnings on the proceeds of the Obligations.

D. Coordinate the tracking of expenditures, including the expenditure of any investment

earnings. If the project(s) to be financed with the proceeds of the Obligations will be
funded with multiple sources of funds, confirm that the Issuer has adopted an
accounting methodology that maintains each source of financing separately and
monitors the actual expenditure of proceeds of the Obligations.

E. Maintain a procedure for the allocation of proceeds of the issue and investment
earnings to expenditures, including the reimbursement of pre-issuance expenditures.
This procedure shall include an examination of the expenditures made with proceeds
of the Obligations within 18 months after each project financed by the Obligations
is placed in service and, if necessary, a reallocation of expenditures in accordance
with Section 1.148-6(d) of the Treasury Regulations.

F. Monitor compliance with the applicable “temporary period” (as defined in the Code
and Treasury Regulations) exceptions for the expenditure of proceeds of the issue, and
provide for yield restriction on the investment of such proceeds if such exceptions are
not satisfied.

26
 G. Ensure that investments acquired with proceeds of such issue are purchased at fair
market value. In determining whether an investment is purchased at fair market value,
any applicable Treasury Regulation safe harbor may be used.

H. Avoid formal or informal creation of funds reasonably expected to be used to pay debt
service on such issue without determining in advance whether such funds must be
invested at a restricted yield.

I. Consult with bond counsel prior to engaging in any post-issuance credit enhancement
transactions or investments in guaranteed investment contracts.

J. Identify situations in which compliance with applicable yield restrictions depends

upon later investments and monitor implementation of any such restrictions.

K. Monitor compliance with six-month, 18-month or 2-year spending exceptions to the

rebate requirement, as applicable.

L. Procure a timely computation of any rebate liability and, if rebate is due, to file a Form
8038-T and to arrange for payment of such rebate liability.

M. Arrange for timely computation and payment of “yield reduction payments” (as such
term is defined in the Code and Treasury Regulations), if applicable.

Private Activity Concerns

The following polices relate to the monitoring and tracking of private uses and private payments
with respect to facilities financed with the Obligations.

The Compliance Officer will:

A. Maintain records determining and tracking facilities financed with specific Obligations
and the amount of proceeds spent on each facility.

B. Maintain records, which should be consistent with those used for arbitrage purposes,
to allocate the proceeds of an issue and investment earnings to expenditures, including
the reimbursement of pre-issuance expenditures.

C. Maintain records allocating to a project financed with Obligations any funds from
other sources that will be used for otherwise non-qualifying costs.

D. Monitor the expenditure of proceeds of an issue and investment earnings

for qualifying costs.

E. Monitor private use of financed facilities to ensure compliance with applicable

limitations on such use. Examples of potential private use include:

27
 1. Sale of the facilities, including sale of capacity rights;

2. Lease or sub-lease of the facilities (including leases, easements or

use arrangements for areas outside the four walls, e.g., hosting of
cell phone towers) or leasehold improvement contracts;

3. Management contracts (in which the Issuer authorizes a third party to

operate a facility, e.g., cafeteria) and research contracts;

4. Preference arrangements (in which the Issuer permits a third party

preference, such as parking in a public parking lot);

5. Joint-ventures, limited liability companies or partnership arrangements;

6. Output contracts or other contracts for use of utility facilities (including

contracts with large utility users);

7. Development agreements which provide for guaranteed payments or

property values from a developer;

8. Grants or loans made to private entities, including special assessment

agreements; and

9. Naming rights arrangements.

Monitoring of private use should include the following:

1. Procedures to review the amount of existing private use on a periodic basis;

and

2. Procedures for identifying in advance any new sale, lease or license,

management contract, sponsored research arrangement, output or utility
contract, development agreement or other arrangement involving private
use of financed facilities and for obtaining copies of any sale agreement,
lease, license, management contract, research arrangement or other
arrangement for review by bond counsel.

If the Compliance Officer identifies private use of facilities financed with tax-exempt or tax-
advantaged debt, the Compliance Officer will consult with the Issuer's bond counsel to determine
whether private use will adversely affect the tax status of the issue and if so, what remedial action
is appropriate. The Compliance Officer should retain all documents related to any of the above
potential private uses.

Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations

If the Issuer issues qualified tax-exempt obligations in any year, the Compliance Officer shall
monitor all tax-exempt financings (including lease purchase arrangements and other similar

28
 financing arrangements and conduit financings on behalf of 501(c)(3) organizations) to assure
that the $10,000,000 “Small Issuer” limit is not exceeded.

Federal Subsidy Payments

The Compliance Officer shall be responsible for the calculation of the amount of any federal
subsidy payments and the timely preparation and submission of the applicable tax form and
application for federal subsidy payments for tax-advantaged obligations such as Build America
Bonds, New Clean Renewable Energy Bonds and Qualified School Construction Bonds.

Reissuance

The following policies relate to compliance with rules and regulations regarding the reissuance of
Obligations for federal law purposes.

The Compliance Officer will identify and consult with bond counsel regarding any post-
issuance change to any terms of an issue of Obligations which could potentially be treated as a
reissuance for federal tax purposes.

Record Retention

The following polices relate to retention of records relating to the Obligations issued. The
Compliance Officer will:

A. Coordinate with staff regarding the records to be maintained by the Issuer to establish
and ensure that an issue remains in compliance with applicable federal tax
requirements for the life of such issue.

B. Coordinate with staff to comply with provisions imposing specific

recordkeeping requirements and cause compliance with such provisions, where
applicable.

C. Coordinate with staff to generally maintain the following:

1. The Transcript relating to the transaction (including any arbitrage or

other tax certificate and the bond counsel opinion);
2. Documentation evidencing expenditure of proceeds of the issue;

3. Documentation regarding the types of facilities financed with the

proceeds of an issue, including, but not limited to, whether such facilities
are land, buildings or equipment, economic life calculations and
information regarding depreciation.

4. Documentation evidencing use of financed property by public and private

entities (e.g., copies of leases, management contracts, utility user
agreements, developer agreements and research agreements);

29
 5. Documentation evidencing all sources of payment or security for the issue;
and

6. Documentation pertaining to any investment of proceeds of the issue

(including the purchase and sale of securities, SLGs subscriptions, yield
calculations for each class of investments, actual investment income
received by the investment of proceeds, guaranteed investment contracts,
and rebate calculations).

D. Coordinate the retention of all records in a manner that ensures their complete access
to the IRS.

E. Keep all material records for so long as the issue is outstanding (including any
refunding), plus seven years.
Continuing Disclosure

Under the provisions of SEC Rule 15c2-12 (the “Rule”), Participating Underwriters (as defined
in the Rule) are required to determine that issuers (such as the Issuer) have entered into written
Continuing Disclosure Agreements to make ongoing disclosure in connection with Offerings
subject to the Rule. Unless the Issuer is exempt from compliance with the Rule or the continuing
disclosure provisions of the Rule as a result of certain permitted exemptions, the Transcript for
each issue of related obligations will include a Continuing Disclosure Agreement executed by
the Issuer.

In order to monitor compliance by the Issuer with its Continuing Disclosure Agreements, the
Compliance Officer will, if and as required by such Continuing Disclosure Agreements:

A. Assist in the preparation or review of annual reports (''Annual Reports”) in the form
required by the related Continuing Disclosure Agreements.

B. Maintain a calendar, with appropriate reminder notifications, listing the filing due
dates relating to dissemination of Annual Reports, which annual due date is generally
expressed as a date within a certain number of days (e.g., 365 days) following the end
of the Issuer's fiscal year (the “Annual Report Due Date”), as provided in the related
Continuing Disclosure Agreements.

C. Ensure timely dissemination of the Annual Report by the Annual Report Due Date, in
the format and manner provided in the related Continuing Disclosure Agreements,
which may include transmitting such filing to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking
Board (“MSRB”) through the Electronic Municipal Market Access (“EMMA”)
System at www.emma.msrb.org in the format prescribed by the MSRB.

D. Monitor the occurrence of any “Material Event” (as defined in the Continuing
Disclosure Agreements) and timely file notice of the occurrence of any such Material
Event in the manner provided under the Continuing Disclosure Agreements. To be
timely filed, such notice must be transmitted within 10 days (or such other time period

30
 as set forth in the Continuing Disclosure Agreements) of the occurrence of such
Material Event.

E. Ensure timely dissemination of notice of any failure to perform under a Continuing

Disclosure Agreement, if and as required by the Continuing Disclosure Agreement.

F. Respond to requests, or ensure that the Issuer Contact (as defined in the Continuing
Disclosure Agreement) responds to requests, for information under the Rule, as
provided in the Continuing Disclosure Agreements.

G. Monitor the performance of any dissemination agent(s) engaged by the Issuer to assist
in the performance of any obligation under the Continuing Disclosure Agreements.

Agenda Item

Subject: Board Consideration to Declare MTC Site House Surplus in Order that It may be
Sold by Sealed Bid Sale

From: Joseph Graves, Superintendent of Schools

Nature of action requested:

Board Action X

Description of the item (including nature of the problem, program covered, impact, board
action desired, etc.)

Based upon a request from MTC President Mark Wilson and MTC Vice President of
Operations John Heemstra, I am recommending that the Board declare the following to be
surplus property:

2021-22 ADBC Student Built Site House #108 located at 604 Doris Drive, Mitchell
South Dakota, 57301, legal address of:

Lot One (1) in Tract H, Wild Oak Golf Club Addition to the City of Mitchell,
Davison County, South Dakota.

Background: This house was built in the shop on the MTC campus during the 20-21 school
year and moved to the site and completed during the 2021-22 school year by the same
group who built it in the shop. After a few years of not hosting one, the instructors this year
are planning to have an open house in late March prior to the bids being due, in order to help
the community view their work. House #109, currently under construction in the shop, will be
moved to a lot this spring, to be completed news school year. MTC purchased the lot for
next year’s house this past fall.

Assuming that an acceptable bid is received for House #108, we would present a
recommendation to sell at the April 11, 2022 school board meeting.

Food Buying Group—Year 6

From: Joseph Graves, Superintendent of Schools

Nature of action requested:

Board Action X
Board Information
Scheduled report

Description of the item (including nature of the problem, program covered, impact, board
action desired, etc.)

Food Service Director Leann Carmody has recommended to me that we once again join the
Eastern South Dakota Food Buying Group, made up of Brandon Valley, Brookings, Yankton,
and Mitchell. The intent here is to continue to pool our purchasing and thereby reduce the
costs of food purchases while maintaining the quality and selection of food available to us
and our students. Like any number of the other changes Mrs. Carmody has made, this has
been another positive step towards providing excellent, tasty meals to our students while
managing the costs of doing so. In years 1-5 of this food buying group, we were able to
garner significant savings in our food costs with no compromising of our food quality or
variety. There is even some anecdotal evidence that the group arrangement has helped with
supply chain issues. Given these successes, we would like to continue our membership in
the group. The membership agreement is included here as supporting documentation behind
this cover sheet.

 Membership Agreement for Eastern South Dakota Food Buying Group
(ESDFBG)
This membership agreement, made and entered into this _____ day of _________________, 2022, by and
between the Brandon Valley School District, Brookings School District, Mitchell School District and the Yankton
School District, hereinafter referred to as “Districts”;
Whereas, there are mutual benefits from pooling purchasing power for food served in school Child Nutrition
Programs which include lower cost, better quality and better service, and
Whereas, the Brandon Valley School District, Brookings School District, Mitchell School District and Yankton
School District all share similar purchasing requirements for food products,
Therefore, the districts mutually establish the Eastern South Dakota Food Buying Group (ESDFBG).
Purpose:
The purpose of the ESDFBG is to reduce overall costs for food products through volume buying of agreed upon
food categories while maintaining a high level of quality in products and supplier service through pooling
quantities into one Request for Proposals (RFP) to vendors/distributors.
Process:
All federal and state procurement regulations will be followed. The member school districts will annually agree
to the terms of this agreement. The Coordinating School District will coordinate the activities of the ESDFBG
and will serve as the contact for vendor, press or other public forum communications for the ESDFBG. A RFP
process will be utilized and will be available to all qualified distribution centers wishing to submit proposals.
The ESDFBG will select the winning distributor for the group based on criteria established in the RFP.
Commitment:
The group selects a market basket mix of items along with Net off Invoice (NOI) items to be quoted through
the RFP process. Member districts individually calculate their volume/usage for the next school year. Once a
vendor/distributor is awarded a contract through the RFP process or a rollover agreement (up to four years),
each member district is committed to and shall purchase its share of the volume included in the RFP. Each
member district shall follow through on its individual purchasing commitment. This is done to ensure the
integrity of the RFP with the brokers and manufacturers.
The ESDFBG will conduct usage reviews a minimum of two times per year to ensure that members are
purchasing the items as specified in the RFP and are on target to meet their purchasing commitments.
A member district failing to fulfill its purchasing commitment is individually responsible for costs associated
with that failure and that member district may lose its membership status in the ESDFBG by a majority vote of
the other voting members.
RFP Process:
Each spring the members will evaluate and update the RFP to define the market basket and NOI items to be
included. Proposals to add new items will be discussed among the members and if the majority of voting
members agree, those items will be added to the new RFP.
The RFP will state the terms and conditions for deliveries and the ordering procedures.

46
Members/Participants Roles:
The Coordinating School District shall coordinate the activities of the ESDFBG and will serve as the contact for
vendor, press or other public forum communications for the ESDFBG. Brookings School District will serve as
the Coordinating School District. The Coordinating School District may be changed by a majority vote of the
members.
Voting members will be school districts of enrollments of 2000 students or more. Each member District shall
be entitled to one vote and will be expected to be active in the decision making process, attend group
meetings, and help with special projects. In the event of any tie vote within the membership of ESDFBG,
district seniority combined with individual director seniority as a member of ESDFBG, with consecutive years
of membership considered only, will take precedence followed by the district enrollment.
There may also be non-voting buying participants within the ESDFBG admitted by a majority vote of the
member districts. Each buying participant must commit to purchasing its identified quantity of food. A buying
participant failing to fulfill its purchasing commitment is individually responsible for costs associated with its
failure and may lose its participant status in the ESDFBG by a majority vote of the member districts.
A member or participating district wishing to exit the group agrees to fulfill its current school year obligation
and notify the Coordinating School District by February 1st of its intent not to participate for the following
school year.
The voting members reserve the right to deny, for any reason, participation to any applicant to become a
buying participant.
Indemnification:
Each member District shall defend, indemnify and save harmless the other member Districts, from and against
any and all claims, actions, suits, liabilities, judgments, losses, damages, costs, charges, attorney fees and
other expenses incurred or suffered by said member District arising out of member District’s failure to comply
with its obligations under this agreement.
By signing below, I agree to abide by all membership requirements of the Eastern South Dakota Food Buying
Group. Furthermore, I understand that although the buying group negotiates price with vendors, all business
transactions occur between the Vendors and individual school districts in the buying group.

 MITCHELL SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 17-2
February 14, 2022
School Board Meeting
Agenda Item

Subject: Board Consideration to Adopt Intent to Participate in Softball as an Extracurricular

Activity Beginning in the Spring of 2023

From: Joseph Graves, Superintendent of Schools

Nature of action requested:

Board Action X
Board Information
Scheduled report

Description of the item (including nature of the problem, program covered, impact, board
action desired, etc.)

As the Board is aware, the South Dakota High School Activities Association will be
sanctioning softball as an approved activity for female students, as of the 2022-23 school
year. The Mitchell School District has always been a leader in offering opportunities to its
students and, therefore, I am recommending that we add softball to our list of activities
available to student as of that same school year, 2022-23.

A few considerations:

1. As a member of the ESD athletic conference, there is an expectation that member

schools offer the full slate of activities available so that the conference can offer a
reasonable schedule for all activities.

2. Softball will certainly not be an activity new to Mitchell, but it would be new as a
sanctioned school activity, rather than as a club sport (defined as activities affiliated
with but not offered by the school district).

3. Budget: We estimate the following budget will be necessary to offer this activity:
a. Annual Costs:
i. Head Coach/Assistant Coaches (2): $9,500 (Includes Benefits)
ii. Professional Services (Umpires/Announcer): $1,300
iii. Lodging: $1,000
iv. Supplies: $2,000
v. Dues & Fees: $200
vi. Contracted Busing: $6,000
Total: $20,000
b. One-Time Costs:
i. Uniforms/Belts/Slide Shorts: $3,000
ii. Bats: $600
iii. Softballs: $250
Total: $3,850

48
 I would be seeking budget efficiencies to compensate for these new expenses.

4. As for a softball venue, equipment, uniforms, coaching staff, etc., Mr. Aadland has
already accomplished some preliminary planning for this eventuality and we see no
issues in this area. We will bring details on these items to the Board, assuming the
Board approves softball as a school activity.

5. We would be offering softball as a spring activity due to the larger numbers of

activities for female students available in the fall. Currently, we have 6 female sports
in the fall and 2 in the spring. Additionally, marching band and the fall musical
engage large numbers of students. In the spring, we have only 2 female sports along
with jazz band and the spring play. These engage significantly fewer students,
leaving a deeper pool of potential softball players in the spring.
