Purchasing Policies & Procedures
Below you will find the policies and procedures to be followed related to procurement and to assist School District employees in the performance of their duties. These policies and procedures are intended to serve as a guide for all School District employees who are directly or indirectly connected with the purchasing functions of the School District.
Educational Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (ESPLOST)
In 1996 the Georgia Legislature approved steps ultimately leading to a constitutional amendment that allowed local governments, and school systems, to ask citizens to authorize a one-cent Special Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) for municipalities and or a one-cent Special Location Option Sales Tax for Educational Purposes (ESPLOST) for schools. The two sales taxes were to be voted on and approved separately by voters who could choose to approve one, both, or neither. Capital needs of cities and counties such as buildings, roads, bridges, parks, and infrastructure could be addressed by the general SPLOST. School system capital needs such as schools, land for school buildings, school bus purchases, textbooks, and technology infrastructure were to be addressed using the ESPLOST. Proceeds from either tax could not be used for general operating costs such as personnel or supplies. ESPLOST funding is capped at the amount of funds approved by the voters and is limited to the projects listed in the referendum and approved by the voters.
Current ESPLOST
On May 22, 2018, the voters approved the continuation of the one percent sales and use tax to allow for the continued success of Camden County's school children without further burdening property owners in the community. The monthly financial reports presented at the regularly scheduled Board of Education meeting contain detail and summary information regarding the current ESPLOST and previous ESPLOST expenditures. Funding necessary to address projected capital needs for Camden County Schools on the 2018 had an estimated totals $39,000,000 which was approved by the citizens of Camden County. The collections for the 2018 ESPLOST began in July 2019. The collection and expenditures are still in progress for this approved ESPLOST.
On May 24, 2022, the citizens of Camden County approved the continuation of the ESPLOST funding. Therefore, at the conclusion of the current (2018) ESPLOST, capital projects will be funded by the new ESPLOST which was approved for an estimated $66,000,000 to be collected over a five-year period.
