Forsyth County plans to close aging Cook Elementary due to low enrollment and costs, sparking community opposition.
The Forsyth County School Board is considering closing Cook Elementary School due to low enrollment and its 75-year-old condition, with a vote set for October 28.
If closed, students would be reassigned to nearby schools, potentially saving $1.2 million annually and avoiding a $50 million replacement cost.
The district cites declining enrollment and financial strain, projecting a drop to under 45,000 students by 2033.
Community members, teachers, and advocates oppose the closure, calling Cook a vital community institution and warning it would exacerbate inequities.
They urge the board to explore alternative solutions like rezoning.
A final decision is expected October 28.
