Education SPLOST: What It Means for Your School

Gwinnett County voters will decide Tuesday, Nov. 8, whether to extend the one-cent sales tax that will benefit public schools in the county. 

If approved, it will be the fourth E-SPLOST, or Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax for education, and it will raise an estimated maximum of $858.9 million dollars for Gwinnett County schools and $17.1 million for Buford City Schools.

By law, the revenue can be used for capital projects such as school construction, technology and school buses. It cannot be used to fund day-to-day operations.

With the income, the county school system plans to build a new a relief high school for the Berkmar/Central Gwinnett clusters and an elementary school for that new relief cluster, and an elementary school for the Meadowcreek Cluster.

Here's how the money will be used for other Lilburn-area schools if the tax is approved by voters: (Source: Gwinnett County Public Schools)
