Key Credit Considerations

The rating actions reflect the following key credit considerations:

Credit Positives

  • Per consultation with KBRA external counsel, robust bondholder protections are afforded by California’s constitution and state law.
  • Substantial and diverse tax base that continues to grow, with levy dedicated to debt repayment.
  • Experienced management team, with demonstrated ability to manage challenges; augmented by significant state and county oversight and monitoring of District budgeting and fiscal reporting.

Credit Challenges

  • Declining enrollment trend negatively impacts operating revenues.
  • Limited operating revenue flexibility requires strong expenditure control to maintain financial health.

Rating Sensitivities

For Upgrade

  • Not applicable at AAA rating level.

For Downgrade

  • Significant tax base declines which would necessitate a substantial increase in the tax rate for debt service.
  • A reduction in reserve levels below 2% of annual operating expenditures would erode financial flexibility and weaken credit strength.
