I would agree that a 30 year bond may not be the best investment for a short-lived device, although with the size of the potential investment I'd think a deal could be arranged with a produced to provide more perpetual service.
Also, my understanding of the qualified construction bonds is there's little if any debt service.
The bigger issue is how does a mammoth school system like California update it's curricula and equipment without spending money?
