The Education SPLOST (E-SPLOST) program is designed to help us, as a community of teachers and learners, build facilities and acquire technologies that support the educational process in our schools both today and in the future.

The Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax for Education (E-SPLOST) is a one-penny sales tax that Georgia school systems may use for capital improvements and/or long-term debt reduction from previous bonds.

E-SPLOST Facts

• Clarke County voters have approved E-SPLOST six times since 1997. 

• Once approved by voters, this is not a new tax. It continues the same penny tax that has funded new classrooms, new technology, new buses, and more for Clarke County students.

• Projects funded by E-SPLOST 6 benefit every school in Clarke County.

• The one-penny sales tax is paid by all who shop, stay, dine or receive services in Clarke County, including outside visitors (almost 60% is paid by people who visit Athens).
