To relieve overcrowding at existing schools and populate Poole’s Mill Elementary School, the Forsyth County School District has posted proposed new attendance boundaries for the 2020-21 school year.
Poole's Mill will open next August for children in kindergarten through fifth grade. The proposed redistricting could affect 1,087 youngsters at Sawnee, Matt, Kelly Mill, Silver City and Coal Mountain elementary schools, and possibly others. Information: https://bit.ly/2pgXyvx
