Cairo- Every school in the county will be affected by the SPLOST. The money will pay for new classrooms, dining facilities, gyms, and in some cases, total renovations of some schools.

"We want our schools to be something that when someone walks into our community and they look at our schools, they'll say that's where I want my child to go.
