Hello nancy, and welcome to the forums. The first is issues that relate to school bonds. Presumably the town is selling bonds to finance the construction or repair/renovation of schools.

Thank you, Grammar Geek for your kind response.
Did you mean to say that in the States any town could borrow money from it's local (?) residents by selling them bonds?
