Update on Investigation of Reporting Procedures
Winston-Salem/Forsyth
County Schools is dedicated to the safety of its students and community.
Learning cannot take place if children do not feel safe. The goal of current
discussions with law enforcement agencies about how allegations of criminal
conduct are reported is to provide a method that protects students and promotes
openness and transparency.
This website is dedicated to keeping students, parents and the community informed about the steps the school system is taking to work with law enforcement to create a reporting system that ensures children are in the safest environment possible. Please check back often for updates. Updates also will be posted on our twitter feed, www.twitter.com/wsfcs.
