Glynn County citizens overwhelmingly demonstrated their support for our schools by approving the continuation of the one-percent sales tax that directly funds our education projects. Fifty-five percent of voters said “yes” to the ESPLOST V (Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) at the November 2024 election.
The tax is projected to generate up to $114.6 million, which will be allocated to various capital outlay projects. These projects include additions, renovations, and modernization efforts at Glynn Academy, Sterling Elementary School, Glynn County Stadium, Brunswick High School, Needwood Middle School and Jane Macon Middle School.
Additionally, the funds will be used for the acquisition of school buses and other improvements to school system properties. This includes the construction of sidewalks, covered walkways, necessary demolitions, site improvements, land acquisition, and technology upgrades.
The tax collection will commence on April 1, 2025 and will continue for 48 months or until the projected revenue is reached, whichever comes first.
