Forsyth County Schools | Board of Education Regular Meeting | May 5, 2026

The Forsyth County Schools Board of Education held a regular meeting on May 5, 2026, where key discussions focused on budget timelines, policy revisions, and capital improvement projects. The board deferred finalizing the FY27 budget timeline pending state legislative outcomes affecting funding and property tax bills. A comprehensive revision of the staff conflict of interest policy was presented for a 30-day review, aiming to clarify definitions and align with legal guidance, with potential adjustments based on pending state legislation. Additionally, an update on the district's SPLOST-funded capital projects was provided, highlighting ongoing HVAC system renovations and infrastructure upgrades across 15 schools. The district is managing these projects internally to save costs by eliminating general contractor markups and architectural fees. The board also discussed challenges related to supply chain delays and equipment upgrades, including LED lighting installations and electrical rewiring to meet current codes. No formal votes on procurement contracts were recorded, but the meeting included important updates on capital improvement spending and policy considerations that may impact future procurement activities.
