In Forsyth County, the new school year brings changes to support student health. School nurses will receive pay raises, and a second mental health specialist has been hired. Each of the county's schools has a nurse on campus daily.

The district is taking steps to retain nurses, who have a lower retention rate compared to other employees. Further details on the changes, including the amount of the pay raises, are available from local news sources, such as WSB-TV. The raises are intended to improve nurse retention, with the goal of providing better support for students.
