Sec. 14. Disclaimer. 271
(a) The issuance of Bonds is in the discretion of the District. Nothing contained in this 272

obligating the District to issue any Bonds for the benefit of the Borrower or to participate in or assist 274
the Borrower in any way with financing, refinancing, or reimbursing the costs of the Project. The 275
Borrower shall have no claims for damages or for any other legal or equitable relief against the 276
District, its elected or appointed officials, officers, employees, or agents as a consequence of any 277
failure to issue any Bonds for the benefit of the Borrower. 278
(b) The District reserves the right to issue the Bonds in the order or priority it determines in 279
its sole and absolute discretion. The District gives no assurance and makes no representations that 280
any portion of any limited amount of bonds or other obligations, the interest on which is excludable 281
from gross income for federal income tax purposes, will be reserved or will be available at the time 282
of the proposed issuance of the Bonds. 283

13
(c) The District, by adopting this resolution or by taking any other action in connection with 284
financing, refinancing, or reimbursing costs of the Project, does not provide any assurance that the 285
Project is viable or sound, that the Borrower is financially sound, or that amounts owing on the 286
Bonds or pursuant to the Loan will be paid. Neither the Borrower, any purchaser of the Bonds, nor 287
any other person shall rely upon the District with respect to these matters. 288
Sec. 15. Expiration. 289
If any Bonds are not issued, sold, and delivered to the original purchaser within 3 years of 290
the date of this resolution, the authorization provided in this resolution with respect to the issuance, 291
sale, and delivery of the Bonds shall expire. 292
Sec. 16. Severability. 293
If any particular provision of this resolution or the application thereof to any person or 294
circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of this resolution and the application of such provision to 295
other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby. If any action or inaction contemplated 296
under this resolution is determined to be contrary to the requirements of applicable law, such action 297
or inaction shall not be necessary for the purpose of issuing of the Bonds, and the validity of the 298
Bonds shall not be adversely affected. 299
Sec. 17. Compliance with public approval requirement. 300
This approval shall constitute the approval of the Council as required in section 147 (f) of the 301

for the Project to be financed, refinanced, or reimbursed with the proceeds of the Bonds. This 303

a public hearing held in accordance with section 147(f) of the Code, as such section may be 305

Treasury. 307

St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School
Revenue Bond

FACT SHEET

St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School has requested that the District issue up to $30,500,000 of tax-
exempt revenue bonds to finance, refinance, and refund costs associated with, renovations to
properties located at 4700/4701 Whitehaven Parkway, NW, and 1801 Foxhall Road, NW,
located in Ward 3.

The Applicant

Founded in 1956 by St. Patrick’s Church as a parish nursery school in the basement of a
townhouse, the St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School has grown into an institution serving more
than 500 students, with separate elementary and middle school campuses in Washington, DC,
and plans are underway for a new combined high and middle school campus.

St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School is an independent, coeducational, Episcopal day school for
students from nursery ages to the eighth grade. The school currently enrolls 507 students on two
campuses located on approximately 15 acres of land in the Georgetown area of DC. St. Patrick’s
is administered by a Headmaster and the board of Trustees.

The school has expanded several times over the decades, including in 2001 with the introduction
of a seventh- and eighth-grade program. Initially small and operating within another school’s
facilities, the middle school has since grown to near capacity and is now housed in a renovated
residence on MacArthur Boulevard. This campus includes a dedicated library and separate
humanities classrooms for each grade, while students travel to the main campus for math,
science, and STEM instruction. In 2002, the school completed a significant construction and
renovation project that transformed the outdoor play court at 4700/4701 Whitehaven Parkway,
NW, into a three-story academic wing with classrooms and a large, light-filled library.
Additional improvements included a new gymnasium and stage across the street, repurposing the
former gym into an art studio and multipurpose spaces, and the addition of a glass-enclosed foyer
and reception area. Further expansion followed in 2004 when The Friends of Saint Patrick’s
Episcopal Day School successfully acquired the Casey Mansion property at 1801 Foxhall Road,
NW.

The two campuses consist of several independent facilities that include over 110,000 square feet
of buildings. These facilities include three science labs, three libraries, three art studios, four
music rooms, a full gymnasium and performance stage, a mini gym for the nursery classes, three
playgrounds, and an athletic playing field.

Proposed Project

This financing is intended to provide financing or refinancing, on either a tax-exempt or taxable
basis, of all costs associated with two primary initiatives.

First, the bonds will refinance the St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School’s Series 2016 Bonds, the
proceeds of which were originally used to finance and refinance improvements to the school’s
campus located at 4700/4701 Whitehaven Parkway, NW, and 1801 Foxhall Road, NW.

Second, the bonds will support the financing and refinancing of the acquisition, improvement,
expansion, equipping, furnishing, and development of a new middle school facility of
approximately 33,000 square feet, to be constructed on the school’s main campus at 4700/4701
Whitehaven Parkway, NW.

This project also includes associated parking facilities and related real and personal property. In
addition, the financing will cover various related costs, including costs of issuance, reserve
funds, capitalized interest, interest rate swap termination costs, lease termination costs, credit
costs, and working capital.

Financing Plan

A summary of the proposed sources and uses of funds is attached (see Table 1).

Feasibility/Structure/Security of the Bonds

Davidson has reviewed the financial feasibil ity of the St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School in
connection with the proposed approximately $30,500,000 revenue bond application. Based on
the assessment of the organization’s financial position and financing needs, Davidson believes
such financing is feasible. Bonds will be a general obligation of the school.
