E-SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax for Education)

Since the start of SPLOST VI collections in 2022, Gwinnett County Public Schools has continued to use the one-cent sales tax to meet the needs of the school system
through the construction of new schools and additions, as well as the renovation of classroom spaces and facilities. Under the current SPLOST plan, we have made hefty investments in preventative maintenance with a particular emphasis on roof repairs, replacement of aging HVAC systems, interior and exterior painting, carpet and other flooring replacement, exterior paving, and improvements to ceilings, lighting, data, and energy management systems.

Embarking on our 2023–24 school year, we saw the opening of a new threestory classroom addition constructed and completed at North Gwinnett High School. Construction will progress on a new three-story classroom addition at Trickum Middle School, which will open in August 2024.

Design work is underway for a new middle school in the Archer Cluster. Sitework for this project will start before the end of the calendar year, with construction of
the building scheduled to begin mid-year 2024. With an estimated two-year construction schedule, the new Archer Cluster Middle School will open in August 2026.

E-SPLOST continues to be essential in maintaining our facilities, procuring school buses, and implementing technology improvements that support teaching and learning across every cluster in the district.
