McDONOUGH — Henry County Schools is wasting no time getting started on the list of projects funded by the newly approved Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax 6.
McDONOUGH â Kindergarten teacher Danequa Lyons isnât a fan of needles, but her excitement to get inoculated against COVID-19 outweighed any fear she had.
The vaccine will allow her to hug on her little ones at Walnut Creek Elementary School as well as protect her 10-month-old daughter at home.
She said she felt just a little tingle after receiving the Johnson & Johnson single dose vaccine, noting that sheâd been through worse âlike child birth.â
Josh Malcom, HCS Facilities & Maintenance director, doesnât like needles either. He looked away as nurse Ruthie Hill approached him and thought about construction projects as she injected him.
Voters will be asked to approve the 1% sales tax in March.
The $322 million project list was developed based on community feedback and priorities and the results of the classroom utilization study. The study used current classroom space, county population trends, historical and current enrollment and housing trends to determine where new schools will need to be built as well as adding classroom space at current schools.
The project list includes two new elementary schools â Wolf Creek and Willow Lane â and a STEM high school.
Additions are planned for Dutchtown Middle and High schools, Ola Middle and High, Locust Grove High and Union Grove Middle.
