FORSYTH COUNTY -- Though many bills passed in the Georgia General Assembly became law as soon as the governor signed them, there are some going into effect today that impact Forsyth County. Starting today, Board of Education members no longer have to go mum on topics after a vote is made if they do not agree with it. Before Senate Bill 275 was passed, board members had to follow a code of ethics that prevented them from “discussing freely the policies and actions of such board outside of a board meeting.”
