ELECTION DAY IS MAY 24!
E-SPLOST V
On the bottom of the ballot, you will have the opportunity to vote to continue the penny sales tax for schools. Check out what Dr. Greene has to say!
Click  HERE
SPLOST for schools will put much needed dollars to work in communities across the county! By continuing this sales tax, the investment in our schools is shared by visitiors and shoppers instead of relying on increasing property taxes.  What will it do?
-Build Better Schools:Renovate and/or upgrade existing schools
-Reduce the need for portable classrooms, promoting a better learning and teaching environment for our students and children
-Improve technology in schools across the county
