What happens if the SPLOST does not pass?
If the SPLOST fails to pass, the proposed projects could not be accomplished without the proposed revenue from the collection of the additional one-cent sales tax. To fund the news schools without the SPLOST would be impossible. Without the passage of the SPLOST, the children will continue to attend outdated and costly to maintain elementary schools and the expense of future construction will greatly exceed the cost of building at todays cost. Continued and increased use of portable classrooms, higher class sizes and/or double sessions are options that would be considered.
