Four DeKalb County middle schools will get new physical education tracks as a result of a reallocation of sales tax revenue.

The DeKalb school board on Monday authorized moving about $1 million into a fund to rehabilitate four aging tracks at Columbia, Henderson, McNair and Peachtree middle schools.

The work, scheduled to begin in the spring, is expected to cost about $250,000 per track.
