Forsyth Schools Lock Down Budget | Winston–Salem News

Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools just finalized their 2025-26 budget and tapped Anderson Smith and Wike — experts with audits under their belt in 95 other districts — to review their books for $127,500. The previous audit firm stepped aside, and the board reallocated $3.8 million in revenues and expenses to balance the books while also prepping for the next fiscal year starting July 1. New financial policies are in the works to tighten controls, enforce deadlines, and prevent future deficits. Board Vice Chair Alex Bohannon says choosing the right audit firm is critical, and they’re on track to eliminate debt — possibly even hitting a surplus this year, though that’s still preliminary. The board reconvenes July 28 to keep moving forward.
