FORSYTH COUNTY — The Forsyth County school system welcomed about 42,000 students Thursday as the 2014-15 school year got under way. The morning went smoothly and was a “typical first day of school,” said Jennifer Caracciolo, a spokeswoman for the school district. Part of an average first day of school is traffic, Caracciolo said, and Thursday was no exception.
