It's been a team effort for w hich the district has worked collaborativ ely w ith the countys representatives to the state Legislature. Among the biggest challenges Kendell faced over the years, "Clearly bringing transportation back not only in public education, but has taught at the university level and has worked in the private sector, and that, perhaps makes moving on easier than it would be if he had been a teacher throughout his career. to an operating budget was the biggest challenge faced by the (school) board and staff, Kendell said.

Sometimes, he ruminated, "we can stay too long. Kendell believes while it is time for him to move on, he didn't stay too long. Looking back over his tenure with the Davis School District, he believes his most important contribution to the district has been the recruitment of principals and other key staff and teachers.

It depends. Let's do a little math. On a fixed-rat- e mortgage for $100,000 at 8 34 interest and no points, the monthly principal and interest payments would $787. To obtain an 8 14 loan, you have to pay three points or $3,000. Payments on this loan would be $751, a Which loan savings of $36 per month. w ould be best for you? The first calculation you should make is how long you will have to live in the house in order to recover the $3,000 paid in points. Divide $3,000 by $36 (your monthly savings) to get the number of months (83); then divide 83 by 12 (months the time it per year) to get 7 years will take to recover the points. If you are fairly certain you will live m your new house for seven years or more, then the loan with points is the better dollar value. Other factors may influence your decision, however, such as how much cash you mus have to close, your monthly budget, and tax bracket.
