kins County High School including, but

er necessary personal property and

use tax for educational purposes (the
"Educational Sales Tax”) shall vote
"Yes” and all qualified voters opposed
to levying the Educational Sales Tax
shall vote “No.” If more than one-half of

quarter following termination of the Ed
ucational Sales Tax presently in effect
in Jenkins County and shall cease to be
imposed on the earlier of (a) twenty cal
endar quarters after the tax is imposed
or (b) as of the end of the calendar
quarter during which the Commissioner
of the Georgia Department of Revenue
determines that the Educational Sales
Tax will have raised revenues sufficient
to provide to the School District net pro
ceeds equal to or greater than the
amount specified as the maximum
amount of net proceeds to be raised by
the Educational Sales Tax.
3. The School District heretofore has
issued its $5,050,000 in principal
amount JENKINS COUNTY SCHOOL
DISTRICT GENERAL OBLIGATION
BOND, SERIES 2005 (the “Series 2005
Bond”) for the purpose of financing cap
ital outlay projects of the School District,
as authorized by a majority vote of qual
ified voters in Jenkins County voting in
an election held March 15, 2005. If re
imposition of the Educational Sales Tax
is approved by the voters of Jenkins
County on March 17,2009 and imposed
beginning July 1, 2010, proceeds to be
received from the Educational Sales
Tax of approximately $3,160,195 shall
be used to pay principal of and interest
coming due on the Series 2005 Bond
through December 1,2015, which is the
final maturity date for the Series 2005
Bond. The School District may apply
interest earnings or other funds avail
able in the debt service account main
tained for the outstanding Series 2005
Bond to assist in the retirement of such
bond.
4. In addition to the retirement of the
Series 2005 Bond, the Board of Educa
tion expects to use proceeds from the
Educational Sales Tax to fund all or a
portion of various capital outlay projects,
including architectural and engineering
fees and necessary contingencies
throughout the Jenkins County School
System, including (i) construction and
renovation of athletic facilities at the
Jenkins County High School including,

proceeds from the Educational Sales
Tax, and any other available funds, to
pay the costs of the above described
capital outlay projects. Plans and spec
ifications for these projects have not
been completed, and bids have not
been received. Depending upon acqui
sition and construction costs and avail
able funds, the School District may es
tablish or reestablish priorities and
choose which capital outlay projects to
undertake or not undertake, or to delay
until additional funding is available, to
the extent that proceeds of the Educa
tional Sales Tax, together with other
available funds actually received by the
School District, are insufficient to com
plete all of the capital outlay projects.
6. The last day to register to vote in
the election is Tuesday, February 17,

do so by applying in person at the voter
registration office located at the Jenkins
