DeKalb school officials want to build eight new schools and make renovations and additions to several others with money collected from the next penny sales tax program, which if approved would run from 2013-2017.  DeKalb must ask voters to extend the tax along with Atlanta, Decatur, and Fulton school districts because of overlapping boundaries under state law. A detailed project list and a survey is available at www.dekalb.k12.ga.us.
