Capital Plan 2022-2027
School construction and other capital needs included in The Capital Plan 2022-27 are outlined below. Projects included in this capital plan were identified and funded by the continuation of an E-SPLOST approved by the taxpayers of Gwinnett County in November 2020. To jumpstart the plan, the 2020 E-SPLOST vote authorized the school system to sell G.O. bonds to be repaid with sales tax proceeds.
District staff provides a monthly update to the Gwinnett County Board of Education regarding the execution of the capital plan during regular business meetings.
