Georgia Department of Audits

As of November 1, the Department of Education has published its new financial data reporting tool as required by HB 139. The reporting system can be found at the page for GA DOE Financial Review

HB 139 required the aggregation and publication of a variety of financial information for all school districts, such as revenue and expenditure data, capital construction costs, recent audits, and similar reports. All the information on this site consists of data and other information which the Department already collects and, in most cases, published in some existing form, or which is collected and published by another department within the state government, such as the Department of Audits and Accounts. HB 139 required the centralization of this information into a single website, which is the purpose of this new reporting system.

A special-purpose local-option sales tax (SPLOST) is an optional 1% sales tax used to fund capital outlay projects proposed by Cartersville City Schools. The revenue generated from this sales tax cannot be used towards operating expenses or most maintenance projects.
