BACKGROUND
As the third largest school district in Georgia, the DeKalb County School District (DCSD) has more than 14,000
full-time employees and serves over 93,000 students throughout DeKalb County. DCSD has approximately 138
schools and centers, including 77 elementary, 19 middle schools and 22 high schools; 8 start-up charter schools,
13 specialized centers, 6 administrative centers and 5 athletic stadiums. Most facilities were constructed in the
1950’s and 1960’s. Almost all facilities have had some form of renovation, repair, or addition over the years.
Since 1997, the Owner has utilized Education SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) funds as the
primary funding source for its capital improvement programs (CIP). On November 22, 2021, the DeKalb County
voters approved the Owner’s sixth E-SPLOST program. It is anticipated that approximately $700 million will be
available to fund the District’s 2022-2027 Capital Improvement Program through the utilization of the approved
SPLOST funds, in conjunction with the State of Georgia’s Capital Outlay Program.
A copy of the CIP Summary and more detailed information regarding the CIP can be obtained on the District’s
website at www.dekalbschoolsga.org/e-splost/
