The Bulloch County Board of Education approved a resolution Thursday calling for a five-year, $52 million extension of the ESPLOST. Next, the Board of Elections will receive the request to call a Nov. 7 special election. Then if a majority of the county’s voters approve, the 1 percent Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax will continue to be collected from Jan. 1, 2019 through 2023. But if the referendum failed to pass, a proposal to extend the tax could be put on the ballot again in November 2018, as pointed out during the school board’s brief discussion Thursday evening.
