Funding Our Students Futures
Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (ESPLOST) is a voter-approved one-penny sales tax dedicated to funding capital improvements for Forsyth County Schools. These funds cannot be used for salaries or daily operating expenses; instead, they are invested in building new schools, expanding and improving existing facilities, purchasing buses and technology, and ensuring safe, modern learning environments for students.
Forsyth County voters will have the opportunity to decide on the renewal of ESPLOST during the upcoming Special Election. Voters can cast their ballot in-person early during Advance Voting between October 14 and October 31 or on Election Day, Tuesday, November 4, 2025. To request a ballot be mailed to them, voters may submit an absentee ballot application between now and October 24, 2025. Learn more at www.forsythco.com/vote.
