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 key procurement and budget-related topics were discussed. The board reviewed and approved a continuing resolution to allow spending at 1/12 of the previous year's budget to maintain operations until the new fiscal year budget is approved. The financial report highlighted draft year-end numbers, noting a slight revenue shortfall due to delayed tax collections and a deficit of approximately $25 million, partially offset by reserve funds. Capital projects expenditures were ongoing, with significant spending planned for summer projects. Additionally, the board discussed the approval process for high-quality instructional materials aligned with new state literacy legislation, with final approval scheduled for the upcoming budget meeting. A community partnership proposal was presented to develop an inclusive playground at Kelly Mill Elementary at no cost to the district, with fundraising and outreach efforts planned. Several policy updates related to employee leaves, student records, and public participation were also approved without public opposition.
