Forsyth County BOE

The school board currently has a 5-4 split, Democrat to Republican. But that will change after Democrats won all four seats in District 2, which have historically been held by Republicans.

Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools has launched a community survey asking for feedback as officials plan school calendars for the next two years.

Commissioners approved an extra $1.3 million for the school district this year to support the exceptional children department. District officials plan to use it to add positions, but they're struggling to fill dozens of vacancies as it is.

WS/FCS Board of Education Candidate Mike Klinetobe says he's not ending his campaign, despite endorsing his opponents this week.

Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Board of Education candidates participated in a student-led forum Thursday night. WFDD’s Education Reporter Amy Diaz was there and spoke with Editorial Director Bethany Chafin about the event.

Randy Bridges calls himself a lifelong educator, and has held multiple interim leadership positions since retiring in 2013. But he doesn't view himself as a placeholder.

The forum will be held at the Reynolds High School auditorium on Oct. 1, at 6 p.m.

The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Board of Education selected Randy Bridges to serve as the interim superintendent from Oct. 1 through the end of the school year.

Ronald Jason Lucero, a Republican candidate for an at-large seat, was arrested in July and charged with two counts of obtaining property by false pretenses.

Bridges will begin Oct. 1 and serve through the end of the school year.
