DeKalb County Schools hold meetings on E-SPLOST projects

The DeKalb County School District is getting closer to pitching a list of E-SPLOST projects to its school board, after residents were asked for feedback on a preliminary list.

Parents, teachers and residents got three options at meetings Tuesday and Thursday, and were asked their opinion on adding another cluster of schools, renovating some schools to increase capacity or relocating programs where space already is available. The plans would alleviate the potential for overcrowding before the recently approved E-SPLOST sales tax extension ends in 2022.

The AJC has created the The Ultimate Atlanta School Guide that lets you look at and compare critical data for every school in Georgia. You can find it at http://schools.myajc.com/#/schools.
