Because E-SPLOST funds can only be used for capital improvements—not day-to-day operating expenses—it allows APS to invest in projects that directly support student success, including school renovations, new construction, technology upgrades, transportation improvements, and enhanced safety and security measures. As part of the proposed transformative renovations, the swimming pool at Hollis Innovation Academy would undergo a significant upgrade, expanding access to swimming for APS students and the community.
