Superintendent Tricia McManus

The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office is calling for metal detectors to be used in schools every day after a gun was found on campus this week. But district officials say that will require more funding and manpower than they currently have. 

Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools is increasing the random use of metal detectors following multiple instances of guns found on school campuses. This is a temporary measure as the district looks for a more efficient solution.

Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools has been navigating a pandemic with a new superintendent. Tricia McManus has been at the helm since November.
