Taxpayer Savings from Bond Refinancing Surpass $47 Million

In September 2025, the Corona-Norco Unified School District (CNUSD) successfully completed the sale of General Obligation Refunding Bonds, securing more than $5.2 million in taxpayer savings through the year 2044.

This refinancing involved bonds originally issued in 2015 under Measure U and Measure GG. By capitalizing on lower interest rates, without extending the original repayment period, CNUSD was able to generate substantial long-term savings for the surrounding community.

Between 2015 and 2020, the District completed four previous bond refinancings, resulting in over $42.2 million in savings. With this most recent transaction, CNUSD has now delivered a total of $47.5 million in taxpayer relief.

It’s important to note that, under California law, all savings from these refinancings go directly to taxpayers within CNUSD boundaries. The District does not receive any additional funding from these transactions.
