A Note From HFE SGC
Hi HFE families!
In the past weeks you received fliers in your child's folder regarding the extension of the ESPLOST sales tax that will appear during November 2nd voting. If you are curious about what ESPLOST (Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) can accomplish in Fulton County, or would simply like more information, please visit the following link to watch a brief video https://www.fultonschools.org/esplost.
To give some examples of what ESPLOST has been able to accomplish in the past, our current HFE building was built, the construction underway at Riverwood was made possible, and county wide improvements to school buildings, technology, and instructional programs were made.
