4.      Approval of Continuing Disclosure Resolution (Mr. Burkhalter and Mr. Traxler) 

                       The McNair Law Firm – Bond Counsel for the Consolidated School District of Aiken    
                       County – has recommended the adoption of a Continuing  Disclosure resolution as the
                       District’s part in a program by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
                       (the”SEC”) to ensure that underwriters (purchasers of bonds) are diligent about
                       checking compliance by bond issuers with regard to continuing disclosure. This
                       initiative allows underwriters to self-report transactions where they believe there may
                       have been a material omission in an issuer’s continuing disclosure obligations. The
                       second aspect of this initiative allows issuers (i.e. the District in our case) to self-report
                       potential omissions in continuing disclosure, and omissions describing compliance
                       with continuing disclosure in official statements. Self-reporting does not involve an
                       admission but identifies transactions where there might have been a material
                       omission. The bond counsel sees this self-reporting as a form of “safe harbor” in that
                       it may obviate financial penalties, even if the SEC investigates and determines there
                       was some material omission.
