Spending Of New Sales Tax Revenue By Oconee County Schools To Focus On Released Master Plans For High School Sports Facilities

***Superintendent Said No New Bonds To Be Issued***

Oconee County Schools administrators on Monday released master site plans for expansion of the sports facilities at both of the system’s high schools as the beginning phase of spending under the Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (ESPLOST) referendum approved by voters last year.

Included are a new auxiliary gym at North Oconee High School, a new covered walkway connecting the auxiliary gym to the existing gym, and potentially an “athletic walkway” to connect the stadium, baseball, and soccer complexes.
