BEARCAT BEAT ESPLOST EDITION

Welcome to the Bearcat Beat Podcast!

Today, we’re excited to talk about a topic that’s vital to our community and our kids — the ESPLOST, or Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax. This unique funding source helps keep our schools moving forward with important projects, supports our learners, and helps keep the tax burden lighter for homeowners in Bainbridge and beyond.

Joining us today:

Dr. Boyd English, Superintendent for Decatur County Schools

Dr. Larry Clark, Mentor and Advisor for Decatur County Schools

Ms. Amy Zock, Director of Instructional and Innovative Technology, Decatur County Schools

We hope today’s conversation helped you see how the ESPLOST is a powerful tool for strengthening our schools, supporting our learners, and building a stronger community. Remember, every purchase made in Bainbridge helps support our students — so together, we’re investing in a brighter future for all Bearcats.

Stay involved, stay informed, and let’s keep working to give our kids the best education possible.--After all, It's the Bearcat Way!
