Forsyth County Schools | Board of Education Regular Meeting | July 21, 2026

The Forsyth County Schools Board of Education held a regular meeting on July 21, 2026, where they discussed several key topics including personnel approvals, updates on educational initiatives, and financial reports. A notable procurement-related discussion involved the approval to proceed with fundraising and community outreach for an inclusive playground at Kelly Mill Elementary School, with no cost to the district and plans for budget approval in the near future. The board also reviewed and planned to approve high-quality instructional materials aligned with state literacy legislation, with final approval scheduled for the upcoming budget meeting on July 30, 2026. Financially, the board received a detailed report on the June 2026 financials, highlighting a $21 million expenditure from reserve funds for various projects, slower tax revenue collections due to appeals, and a continuing resolution to allow spending at 1/12 of the previous year's budget until the new budget is approved. Several policy updates related to employee leaves, student records, and public participation were unanimously approved. The meeting emphasized transparency in financial management and ongoing efforts to support educational quality and inclusivity.
