STEM HIGH SCHOOLCommunity voices made clear the need for greater opportunities and access to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics- focused curriculum. To that end, the district will construct a STEM High School to enhance this opportunity to engage in highly-concentrated curriculum and access to pathways for district students.

TRANSPORTATION HUBWith Henry County being one of the largest sized counties in the state from a geographical standpoint, our bus fleet was in need of easier access to a modernized maintenance facility to keep transportation running smoothly.

What can E-SPLOST do for our district?

Henry County Schools will replace 25 buses per year during the E-SPLOST collection period to modernize the fleet. And a new facility will be constructed to support bus maintenance and alleviate the overcrowded main facility which will also be renovated.

TECHNOLOGYTechnology quickly becomes outdated and in need of a refresh approximately five years after being introduced.

SIGNAGE - DIGITAL SCHOOL MARQUEESEach school will get a new communication tool to help keep their school communities informed. Electronic marquees will replace the current signage at the street entrance to each campus.

EXPANSIONS/MODIFICATIONS/ADDITIONSThrough a classroom utilization study, multiple schools were identified as needing extra space to accommodate current populations and future growth. Three high schools, three middle schools, and one elementary school will have their building footprint adjusted to expand classroom space to accommodate the growing student population.

NEW CONSTRUCTIONThe current E-SPLOST VI proposal includes the construction of one district-wide STEM High School, two elementary schools, a transportation facility, and a district administration building. The STEM high school would be open to any student in the district wishing to enroll there, while the two elementary schools ease population growth in targeted areas in the county. The new administration building will provide much needed space to alleviate overcrowding and cramped conditions at the current district administration building.

SCHOOL MAINTENANCE/SYSTEM UPGRADESRoutine upgrades for many schools, including new roofs, alarm systems, playground equipment, and energy management systems will be covered under the proposed E-SPLOST VI.

RESOURCES/INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT - GROWTH & REPLACEMENT E-SPLOST funds can be used for instructional resource purchases, and this will be a focus of E-SPLOST VI. Additionally, the funds collected will support growth and replacement of key resources for fine arts, health/PE, and Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education courses
