Winston-Salem Schools Seek $33M, Prioritize Teacher Raises

Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools seeks an additional $33 million from the county for teacher raises and new positions. If the full amount isnt granted, the school board prioritizes covering state-mandated teacher raises, estimated between $4-6 million, and potentially restoring Exceptional Childrens positions and hiring more middle and high school teachers. However, without extra funding, cuts may be necessary to absorb salary increases. The superintendent will present these priorities to county commissioners this Thursday.
