On March 25, 2024, our Board of Education passed a resolution to place the County School Facilities Sales Tax on the November 2024 ballot in Effingham County. We think other Effingham County school districts will also pass this resolution. We will be providing a lot of information about this tax as we get closer to election day. In the meantime, here is a Frequently Asked Questions document. Please email [email protected] if you have questions not addressed. Effingham CSFT FAQ.pdf.pdf
