E-SPOST IV allows for the collection of a one-cent sales and use tax for educational purposes for five years (Jan. 1, 2019 to Sept. 30, 2023) to fund significant capital improvement projects. These include renovations and improvements to school facilities; new safety, security and instructional technology; additional buses; improved learning spaces furniture; new playground equipment; and new middle school athletic facilities and renovations or expansions to existing facilities.
These projects were identified with input from principals, faculty leaders, school councils and two community advisory committees (E-SPLOST and Facilities). They were then prioritized for action by nearly 60 parents, community, and faculty members, who collaborated on these two committees. The projects, in addition to needs identified by the school system's Three-Year Technology Plan and the School Improvement Department are how the estimated $66.1 million in E-SPLOST IV revenues are being invested.
