District - Proposed Enhancements

Through a classroom utilization study, multiple schools were identified as needing extra space to accommodate current populations and future growth. Three high schools, three middle schools, and one elementary school will have their building footprint adjusted to expand classroom space to accommodate the growing student population.

The current E-SPLOST VI proposal includes the construction of one district-wide STEM High School, two elementary schools, a transportation facility, and a district administration building. The STEM high school would be open to any student in the district wishing to enroll there, while the two elementary schools ease population growth in targeted areas in the county. The new administration building will provide much needed space to alleviate overcrowding and cramped conditions at the current district administration building.

E-SPLOST funds can be used for instructional resource purchases, and this will be a focus of E-SPLOST 6. Additionally, the funds collected will support growth and replacement of key resources for fine arts, health/PE, and Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education courses.

Henry County Schools is committed to enhancing and upgrading safety and security measures. E-SPLOST VI will provide all schools with Security Access Controls to ensure buildings are secure.

Routine upgrades for many schools, including new roofs, alarm systems, playground equipment, and energy management systems will be covered under the proposed E-SPLOST 6.
