The role of the Community Oversight Committee (COC) for the Educational SPLOST is to serve as an effective liaison connecting the individual school/project committees, the Clarke County Board of Education, and the project manager so that we may all be effective stewards of the sales tax revenue for the benefit of the students and citizens of Athens-Clarke County.

• Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month.
