E-SPLOST 5
E-SPLOST 5. Two replacement schools were built and a new performing arts center was completed on the north side of the district in Fairview. As important as those were, in addition to many of the items you see here, it is safe to say that the investment in student learning devices for every student and computers for every staff member was a game-changer in light of what we have experienced with the current pandemic. While many districts struggled to keep remote learning afloat in their respective areas, our district, thanks to E-SPLOST, didn’t miss a beat and kept learning going at a high level, and that continues today. There were many other projects, like purchases of instructional resources for teachers, completed as seen on the list, each holding importance to the voters who voted for this E-SPLOST back in 2016.
