Forsyth County Schools | Board of Education Millage Rate Meeting | July 23, 2026 Morning

The Forsyth County Schools Board of Education held a special called meeting on July 23, 2026, to discuss the millage rate for the upcoming fiscal year. The meeting focused on explaining the rollback provision related to property tax assessments and the impact on the millage rate, which is currently proposed to remain at 15.208. Board members reviewed historical millage rates and tax increases, noting a trend of decreasing rates over recent years. The board emphasized that maintaining the current millage rate would result in a modest 3.83% increase in revenue due to property reassessments, rather than a direct tax hike. No public comments were made, and the board unanimously approved proceeding with the current millage rate proposal. The meeting also included condolences for the late tax commissioner and highlighted the school system's strong academic performance despite budget constraints.
