Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools is debt-free and rebuilding savings after a major financial crisis. But officials say this marks a milestone — not an end to their work.

Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools officials announced Tuesday that the district is now debt-free. The district has been chipping away at a $46 million deficit for over a year.

Six of the nine Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Board of Education members are seeking re-election this year. But regaining trust amid a major financial crisis could be a challenge.
