Kennesaw School SPLOST IV Project List

While the big-ticket items on the March 2013 Cobb Education SPLOST referendum have been getting most of the attention, every school in the Cobb County School District is slated for improvements. 

The Cobb Board of Education called for the referendum earlier this month and set a date for the vote on March 19, 2013.

What follows is a detailed look at what each school in the Kennesaw Patch coverage area would be getting if Cobb voters approve the $717 million extension of the one-cent SPLOST, which would begin collection for five years starting in January 2014. 

Information has been culled from the attached SPLOST IV final "notebook" of proposed projects. Here are the major school-specific projects in the Kennesaw area:

• Kennesaw ES -- $2.7 million for HVAC replacement;
• Lewis ES -- $2.3 million for HVAC replacement;
• Hayes ES -- $1.6 million for roof and skylight replacement;
• Kennesaw Mountain HS -- $633,000 for HVAC upgrades.

Kennesaw Mountain HS also would get a new track resurfacing project that would cost $350,000.

A number of gymnasium electrical upgrades would be made at the following schools:

• Pine Mountain MS -- $223,000
• Lewis ES, Hayes ES, Chalker ES -- all $210,000.

At Big Shanty Intermediate School, an estimated $160,000 in plumbing upgrades have been earmarked in the SPLOST IV notebook.

Specific project category information with estimated costs, such as that listed above, is included near the front of the overall project notebook.
