    Fernbank Elementary To Get Brand New School if SPLOST Passes

    Decatur Metro | May 31, 2011 | 3:17 pm

    Dave forwards this note sent out to Fernbank Elementary School parents.  According to a blurb in the AJC, Fernbank would be one of eight new schools if DeKalb, Decatur, Atlanta and Fulton voters decide to approve and extend SPLOST.

    As part of its 10-year Facility Master Plan and its development of a list of projects to be funded by SPLOST IV (the next renewal of the one-penny sales tax used to fund capital improvements throughout the school district), the DeKalb County School System recommended this past Friday that Fernbank Elementary’s building be torn down and a new facility built in its place.  If SPLOST IV is approved by voters this coming November, then construction on Fernbank’s new school building likely would take place some time between 2013 and 2017.  You can review the Facility Master Plan and the proposed SPLOST IV project list athttp://www.dekalb.k12.ga.us/www/documents/vision-2020/master-plan-presentation-(2011-05-27).pdf.
