Thank you OC voters for passing the E-SPLOST for the school system and for passing the senior exemption to give our senior citizens a tax break on their school taxes!
🗳️ Today is Election Day!
As a reminder, the ESPLOST continuation is on the ballot. This renewal of the one-penny sales tax will help fund critical Oglethorpe County Schools projects in facilities, technology, and transportation across the district.

PATRIOTS VOLLEYBALL WIN in a nail biting 5th set! Congrats to the players and coaches! Thanks la to the fans for your AMAZING SUPPORT!

🏡 The senior homestead exemption on the ballot was created to help our senior citizens (67 years old or older) manage school taxes.
If approved, it will help Oglethorpe County seniors keep their school property taxes from going up when their home value increases.
Their school taxes would be “frozen” at the value of their home when they qualify (base year)— meaning future value increases wouldn’t raise their school taxes.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to a board member or call our central office at 706-743-8128
