ESPLOST 2026

• HCSD will not influence how one might vote, but it is our effort to inform the community about how the district has benefited from ESPLOST and what is planned for the future should the referendum be approved. 

• If passed, ESPLOST VII would not be a new tax, simply an extension of an initiative that has served the district well since 1997. 

• 30 to 40 percent of ESPLOST collections come from individuals who live outside of Hall County. 

• The funding from ESPLOST helps HCSD maintain current facilities and instructional programs, as well as address growth.  Without it, the millage rate could be impacted.
