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

The Forsyth County Schools Board of Education held a special called meeting on July 23, 2026, primarily 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 maintenance and operations (M&O) millage rate. The board reviewed historical millage rates and tax increases, noting a proposed millage rate of 15.208 for 2026, which would result in a potential 3.3% increase compared to the rollback rate of 15.059. The board expressed intent to keep the millage rate the same, emphasizing fiscal responsibility and maintaining funding for priorities without proposing a direct tax increase. No public comments were made, and the meeting concluded with a unanimous vote to adjourn. No specific procurement, contract awards, or budget approval actions were taken during this session, but the discussion sets the stage for future budget and millage rate approvals.
