Within 45 days, construction will start on West Forsyth High School, the first high school to be built in Forsyth County in 50 years. Voters Tuesday sanctioned a $170 million bond issue 87 percent to 13 percent, with about 12 percent of registered voters turning out. The school bond attorneys anticipate selling the bonds by May, with building to start almost immediately after that. The bonds also will pay for construction of two middle schools and two elementary schools, in addition to land acquisition for a fifth high school, one middle school and two elementary schools. The money will cover the cost of installing global position system devices on school buses.

Rounding out the expenditures will be the installation of air conditioning in all school gyms and cafeterias, equipment for the school cafeterias and sewer access for eight existing schools. West Forsyth High School, scheduled to open in fall 2007, should provide immediate, if temporary, relief for all three existing high schools. All are over capacity. But even with West ability to absorb 1,950 students, two of the other three high schools will remain overcrowded and the third will join them in a year.
