Dawson County Schools Superintendent Damon Gibbs took a few moments Thursday afternoon to thank the community for its continued support of the school system during the Chamber of Commerce luncheon. Gibbs addressed business and community leaders Sept. 12 thanking them for their support of ESPLOST V and providing an update on what ESPLOST funds have accomplished in the past four and a half years. The Dawson County community voted in favor of ESPLOST V, a one percent sales tax used for education purposes in 2015. Around 85 percent of ESPLOST funds are generated by people who live outside of the county.
