Forsyth County Schools | Board of Education Regular Meeting | October 20, 2026

The Forsyth County Schools Board of Education regular meeting was held October 20, 2026. The board reviewed September financial statements: monthly expenses were approximately $62 million, and the district reported that it did not expect to need a tax anticipation note. The finance presentation noted that reserve funds had been used for the Mashburn expansion and other projects. SPLOST 6 collections were reported as sufficient for planned obligations, with total collections projected at about $299 million—below the $300 million cap if collections continue near their recent average. No contracts, bids, or vendor awards were presented for approval.

The board approved the consent agenda and personnel items, and approved revisions to policies on drug-free workplaces and employee tobacco use. Revisions to the infectious-disease and educator-compensation policies were submitted for a 30-day review before future consideration. During public comment, a parent asked the district to provide offline access to digital course materials and suggested an AI tool to create downloadable class archives; the transcript records no board action on that request.
