Six categories of adult “discipline problems” were identified: inconsistent rule enforcement, noncomplance with discipline policies, insensitivity to students, lack of disciplinary data, lack of classroom management skills, and inadequate administration of disciplinary policies.

Variable rate demand bonds and tax-exempt variable rate demand bonds are currently being marketed for just such purposes. In addition, the future appears bright for a currently unavailable instrument—real rate bonds which could further reduce the financing expenses for schools. The characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of each are discussed along with some examples of their superiority to alternative financing.
