Forsyth County Schools | Board of Education Called Meeting | May 26, 2026

The Forsyth County Schools Board of Education held a called meeting on May 26, 2026, primarily to discuss the proposed fiscal year 2027 budget. The presentation detailed a modest 1.47% increase over the previous year's budget, with no anticipated millage rate increase. Key budget priorities include maintaining high educational standards, investing in student safety (including school nursing and resource officers), and continuing technology and instructional improvements. The budget also addresses state-mandated costs such as healthcare premiums and literacy coaches, with local funds comprising the majority of revenue. Additionally, the board reviewed capital projects funding, including the Mash Burn expansion and security enhancements, and discussed the food services RFP process that resulted in projected savings of approximately $858,000. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn after no further questions or comments were raised.
