SPLOST

SPLOST is SPecial Local Option Sales Tax. It is approved by voters' referendum for specific purposes announced by the school board, such as new buildings, technology, building refurbishment, etc. It is usually an additional penny tax that goes to the school board and is approved in 3 year cycles. SPLOST money may be available in the Fall and procedures will be announced on how to request it. You will be asked to submit a proposal and form with pricing. Prices may be from vendors on the bid list, on the state contract bid list or from local merchants. See media center web site for forms. //These directions may change from year to year...//

Fill in all ordering info. The total will automatically calculate and show at the bottom. Leave the Budget line blank. The originator is the local school and the phone number is also for the local school.
 * The completed Form 70 (with principal's signature) should sent via school mail to Media Services for final processing. Make copies for the school files.**

SPLOST orders are placed at the district level, not from the local school sites. Funds provided to you from other accounts (such as SPLOST) are placed by the fund manager (Media Services). When the order is finalized in SAP you will receive a purchase order number. Use this information to track the delivery if needed. Once the order arrives, email media services the PO# for the items you have received. The number will be forwarded to property control and you will receive a comfirmation email. Keep the invoice for records.

For totals over $2500, two written bids must be received from vendors on their company order forms or letterheads and submitted to Media Services with Form 70s. The least expensive items will be ordererd so be sure to get bids as close to exact as possible your product.

The Form 70s are located on the MS portal. Link to sample Form 70 with fields filled in.
