CCRPI score of 91.8
was the highest in the
state.
In that same year, the
district spent about
$7.597 on each full-time
student, according to
data from the school
system -the lowest
among the 12 largest
districts in the state.
Per-pupil expenditure
is calculated by dividing
the district’s expendi
tures by its fall enroll
ment, which in Forsyth
County was recorded as
42,693.
This calculation only
since caused backups onto the
main roadway with parents waiting
to pick their children up, said
Kristin Morrissey, Board of
Education representative for
District 2 in south Forsyth.
Construction still in progress at
high schools includes renovations
at North, Central and South, as
well as renovations to Lambert’s
engineering and health labs and to
West Forsyth’s art, computer and
engineering labs.
Site work is underway at
Denmark High School, which
broke ground last month and is
expected to open in the fall of
2018.
Next steps include reducing the
number of modular units sitting in
parking lots, though they will not
all be taken away until Denmark
opens to relieve overcrowding,
Wening said.
Morrissey said it will be nice for
seniors in many of these high
schools to see the projects they
have had to adjust to during their
time on campus be completed.
