Agenda Overview of previous and current SPLOST program Review of data to support the need for 2017 SPLOST
Reinvestment in Atlanta’s Kids is necessary to achieve 5 critical goals on behalf of all students • Ensure students have access to learning environments that meet 1. their academic needs by ensuring infrastructure is aligned to new cluster signature program designs • Ensure students are not in overcrowded schools by addressing 2. capacity challenges in high-growth areas • Ensure students are in facilities that are safe, comfortable and 3. conducive to learning by maintaining community’s ~$1.78 Billion “Build Smart” investment with building infrastructure and system upgrades (buildings and system upgrades completed under the 1997 SPLOST are approaching the 20 year mark) • Ensure students have access to a comprehensive well-rounded 4. education by investing in athletic fields and technology upgrades • Ensure students being served in APS-leased facilities (including 5. APS charter school students) have access to equitable learning environments by investing in infrastructure improvements for select APS leased facilities 12
