ATLANTA â The Fulton County School System is entering the final year of its five-year building program in better shape financially and operationally than expected.
âWhat a climb we ve had and we re almost at the top,â said Louis Mosley, interim director of operations for the district. âThe good news is I have a message of promises made and promises delivered.â
Under Capital Plan 2022 which kicked off in June 2017, Mosely said 88 of the districtâs 105 schools will have been âtouchedâ in some way, either through building upgrades, technology improvements, safety equipment or combinations of all.
The $980 million capital plan is funded primarily through the 1-cent Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax, which was renewed by voters for a fourth time in June 2017 and runs through June 2022. The current SPLOST was initially projected to raise $940 million over the five-year period.
