Debt Cleared, Hope Returns to Schools | Winston–Salem News

Students in Winston-Salem/Forsyth County are back in class, buzzing with relief and hope after the district finally cleared its long-standing debt — a major win after over a year of financial strain. The first day was lively, with principals drumming up energy and parents cheering their kids’ return, especially for seniors marking their final year. Teachers, still recovering from past cuts, report lower stress and renewed optimism, while students like a sixth grader thrilled to be with her sister. Behind the scenes, though, the superintendent is retiring at the end of September, prompting the school board to soon begin searching for an interim leader. With finances settled and morale rising, the focus is now squarely on rebuilding education and making this academic year a success.
