Forsyth County Schools | Board of Education Called Millage Hearing | July 23, 2026, 9:00 AM

The Forsyth County Schools Board of Education held a special called millage hearing on July 23, 2026, to discuss the proposed 2027 millage rate. The CFO presented detailed information on the current millage rates, rollback provisions, and tax history, explaining that the proposed millage rate for maintenance and operations (M&O) would remain at 15.208, close to the rollback rate of 15.059, effectively maintaining the current tax burden without a millage increase. The board emphasized that while some language in public notices might suggest a tax hike, the budget proposal does not include a millage increase, and many taxpayers may see a decrease in their tax bills due to property value reassessments. No new spending or procurement decisions were made during this hearing, but the discussion focused on fiscal responsibility and maintaining funding priorities within the existing tax framework. The meeting concluded with no public comments and a unanimous vote to adjourn.
