SAVANNAHCHAMBER.COM 57 Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education 912-395-6765 sccpss.com POWERFUL PENNIES The Educational Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (ESPLOST) provides for the construction of new schools, security upgrades, investments in new technology, and facility improvements. In 2025, voters approved ESPLOST V, which extends the already- existing 1% sales tax designated for public school capital projects. Plans include a new high school and athletic complex for rapidly growing western Chatham County, a renovation of the district's Central Offi ce to create space for a student learning center to house a new architectural design and historic preservation pathway, new facilities for Windsor Forest Elementary and the STEM Academy, along with improvements for the district's charter schools. ESPLOST dollars also have provided a valued resource in paying down previously incurred bond debt.
