Capital Outlay The Capital Outlay Fund balance of $0 as of March 31, 2018 reflects proceeds of bond sales for capital outlay purposes less refundings of bonds, bond issuance costs, and capital outlay expenses paid from fiscal year 2010 to March 31, 2018. The next bond issuance is scheduled for early May, 2018, at which time proceeds will be reflected in the Capital Outlay Fund. Current SPLOST For Fiscal Year 2017-18, the Cherokee County School District received $2,610,220 in March 2018, for the month of February 2018, the 2nd month of 60 monthly sales tax collections for the 2018-2022 SPLOST. Collections received were above projections (detail included) for the month by $40,709 and above cumulative projections by $512,080. Excess SPLOST collections are added to the Debt Service fund balance as a safeguard against future negative economic conditions, assuring the School District can meet future bond payments.
