Coweta County

residents could soon be voting on another special purpose local option

sales tax for the school system.

Superintendent

of Education Richard Brooks confirmed this week that the Board of Education

will discuss a proposal at next week's meeting to extend the current SPLOST.

"It would

be used for adding classrooms and schools," he said.

County residents

are currently paying the extra penny on the dollar for new schools that

have been built in the last five years.

School officials

are currently looking at a site for a fine arts facility, which was one

of the projects on the last SPLOST approved by the voters.

If the board

decides to call for a SPLOST referendum, Brooks said there are only four

months when the vote can be conducted: March, June, September and November.

Residents who

want to see the school board discussion on the matter should head to Newnan

Crossing Elementary School next Tuesday at 7 p.m. to watch the discussion.
