ESPLOST I REVIEW

WHAT IS AN ESPLOST? ESPLOST is an Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax that is dedicated for use by school systems for school facility improvements. This penny sales tax can also be used for renovations, technology upgrades, equipment, school bus purchases and to retire bond debt. It cannot be used for salaries or consumable instructional materials. The penny sales tax spreads the responsibility of educating our children to all citizens and visitors to Fayette County.

ESPLOST III

IS ESPLOST III AN ADDITIONAL TAX, I THOUGHT WE JUST PASSED ONE? No, this is not a new sales tax. It simply extends the current 1% sales tax for another 5 years. Collection of the renewal ESPLOST can only begin after the current ESPLOST expires. The tax recently passed was only for the county and city municipalities. It does not Include any funds for the school system.

ESPLOST III Timeline May through July 2017, the Community Advisory Committee met to discuss needs and recommend projects July 24, 2017 Board unanimously approved a resolution to place ESPLOST III on the November 7, 2017 ballot

ESPLOST III The tax is a CONTINUATION of the one percent sales tax currently paid in Fayette County November 2017 approval of ESPLOST III provides no disruption in collections Anticipated revenue $130M to $140M based on current collections trend Projects areas include: Facilities Additions, Renovations and Improvements Technology Equipment, Devices and Infrastructure Safety and Security Equipment Furniture and Equipment Textbook and Instructional Materials Transportation Equipment Debt Service/ Reduction

C. Booth Middle and McIntosh High Schools; Sandy Creek High School and Whitewater High School if needed - Improvements for Career & Technical Education programs - Other projects based on student enrollment Technology Equipment, Devices and Infrastructure - $37,000,000 - Primary focus is integrating the use of technology to enhance student achievement through connected classroom concept - Student Devices will focus on a 1 to 1 deployment depending on grade level, program and school technology plans

ESPLOST III Safety and Security Equipment - $3,000,000 Furniture and Equipment - $10,000,000 Media, Commons Areas and Classrooms Textbook and Instructional Materials - $8,000,000 Transportation Equipment - $8,000,000 Debt Service/ Reduction - $5,000,000

WHAT DOES ESPLOST DO FOR OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM? Maintains safe schools through security cameras, card access and controls Improves facilities for a safe and improved learning environment New and well maintained bus fleet to provide safe and comfortable transportation Keeps technology, textbooks and curriculum current to develop students and better prepare them for the future Low debt which in turn keeps tax assessments (debt service millage) low

WHAT HAPPENS IF ESPLOST III DOES NOT PASS? Without the extension of the current ESPLOST, the school system will not be able to upgrade its technology infrastructure and school buses in a timely manner. Renovations to schools will take longer to complete and could result in additional debt for the school system. Textbooks and other equipment will also be delayed. There could be many lost opportunities for Fayette County students.
