Winston-Salem Schools Restructure Leadership | Winston–Salem News

Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools is undergoing major leadership changes as Superintendent Don Phipps reshapes the executive team, eliminating key roles—including the assistant superintendent for instructional accountability—through natural departures rather than firings. Responsibilities are being redistributed across existing administrators, following the 2018 exit of April Urbanek. This strategic realignment, underway since Phipps took office in 2016, also includes cutting administrative positions outside the main office, saving an estimated $100K annually. Meanwhile, the Chief of Schools, a top deputy role, is departing for Charlotte on October 6th, signaling a broader shift toward decentralizing authority and restructuring central office operations.
