County’s solid credit brings added benefit to local bond funding
By JON WILCOX jon@appenmedia.com
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Taxpayers will get a break on the borrowing cost Forsyth County pays for its upcoming SPLOSTfunded projects.
The county secured a buyer on March 20 for about $93.6 million in general obligation sales tax bonds, formalizing the terms with underwriter Wells Fargo at an interest rate of 2.7825 percent.
The county received bids from 11 potential buyers.
“We were very happy,” County Chief Finance Officer Brian Clark said. “We were lucky today that we were the only government bond issuance for the whole country.”
The County Commission gave approval March 20 authorizing the sale of the bonds, which will be closed April 1.
“This allows us to get $100 million April 1, so that we can kick start a lot of projects,” Clark said.
Programs aim to develop school leaders amid growing need
By JON WILCOX jon@appenmedia.com
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Board of Education is developing programs to foster the next generation of school leaders.
The programs are necessary to fill a growing need for leaders within the school district, said Chief of Staff Josh
Lowe at a March 18 meeting.
The district currently boasts 43 principals and 108 assistant principals, but retirements and growth are creating an increased need for new leaders, Lowe said.
At least 71 of the 151 administrators are new to their roles, he said.
The school leaders are facing new challenges in a post-pandemic period.
In the next five years, district staff estimate up to 58 principals and assistant principals and 22 other administrators could retire.
“There is a need to not only have great leaders in our schools but to be sure we are continuing to develop those people and support them,” Lowe said.
School administrators should pro -
mote students’ health and emotional well-being and collaboration and ensure school’s excellence.
The district is developing leaders through at least nine programs for administrators of all kinds from counselors to athletic directors.

Deputies arrest couple on drug-related charges
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Two people were arrested on drug charges after deputies reported finding methamphetamine in their vehicle March 13.
Deputies stopped a vehicle at Ronald Reagan Boulevard and Shiloh Road about 11 p.m. for having strobing white lights, according to a Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office report.
The driver, a 54-year-old Forsyth County man, and a 33-year-old Roswell female passenger, said they were on their way to a hotel where they had a reservation.
While speaking with the couple, deputies noticed signs of drug use. They observed both appeared “aged beyond their years.” Deputies also saw a rifle in the rear of the vehicle.
When asked whether they had methamphetamine, the pair laughed awkwardly and looked at the center console.
The woman initially offered to allow her purse to be searched. When deputies asked to search the vehicle, she withdrew her consent. The man declined to allow a search of the vehicle.
A K-9 sniffed the exterior of the vehicle and indicated there were drugs inside.
A cellophane bag containing methamphetamine was found in the center console.
A sunglasses case containing an unused syringe, and two glass tubes were found in the woman’s purse.
The woman was charged with felony possession of methamphetamine and misdemeanor possession of drugrelated objects. The man was charged with felony possession of methamphet -
amine and possession of a firearm in commission of a felony.

Man cited in traffic stop for possession of drugs
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Two pistols and ecstasy pills were found inside a vehicle during a traffic stop on Buford Highway March 15.
Deputies stopped the vehicle about 2:30 a.m. after observing it driving without lights, according to a Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office report.
Before the vehicle stopped, deputies observed an object tossed out the window.
The driver, a 41-year-old Columbia, S.C., man, and passenger, a 42-year-old Columbia, S.C., woman, said they were unaware the lights were off.
While speaking to them, deputies smelled a product commonly used to disguise the odor of marijuana. The couple said they were celebrating their anniversary and were traveling to a hotel.
The man said he had thrown a cigarillo from the vehicle but admitted to previously being caught with marijuana. Deputies observed ash on his shirt.
The woman, who had rented the vehicle, consented to a search of the SUV.
A deputy located the object thrown from the vehicle, a bag containing four ecstasy pills.
A search of the vehicle found about 19 grams of marijuana. Also inside were several bottles of BluntPower spray. Two pistols were found inside the glovebox.
The man was arrested on charges of felony possession of a Schedule I controlled substance and misdemeanor tampering with evidence and driving without lights.

Revived North Forsyth takes down Johns Creek
By ANNABELLE REITER annabelle@appenmedia.com
JOHNS CREEK, Ga — The North Forsyth lacrosse team improved to 6-4 on the season after a 14-10 win over Johns Creek High March 19.
North held the lead throughout the game, with the largest advantage reaching six goals during the fourth quarter.
Johns Creek (now 2-8) came back from an initial 3-0 deficit and were able to make the game interesting with three goals in the second quarter and four in the final period. The Gladiators weren’t able to stack enough momentum to cut the deficit to less than two goals.
Raiders head coach Chad Whitlow said his team came in determined to break a two-game losing streak, after having lost several major contributors to injury at the beginning of the season.
“We were motivated tonight, and our guys were hungry,” he said. “We’re excited to get back on track, and we feel like
we’re on the right path to do that.”
When a four-game winning streak is interrupted by two straight losses, an ignited team is sure to find a way to pull out a win.
Senior Logan Martucci celebrated his first game back from injury with four goals. He praised how his team stayed together in his absence.
“Coming out on top tonight is massive for us,” Martucci said. “Emory, Reese, Grant, Parker, everybody came together as an offense today and it really showed. Everybody worked hard to get the win.”
Junior Emory Dennis also tallied four goals in the win over the Gladiators.
The Raiders’ faceoff performance was strong, thanks to Xavier Martinez who went 18-27. Defender Caleb Lemons put on the clamps at the right moments, causing a team-high three turnovers.
Now 6-4, the Raiders have three games remaining before spring break and hope to improve their record for the postseason.
Atlanta Regional Commission to introduce new freight plan
METRO ATLANTA — The Atlanta Regional Commission Board will recondition the Atlanta Regional Freight Mobility Plan after adopting the major update on March 12.
The plan will provide resources for local jurisdictions, policy makers and business leaders. with a comprehensive resource to better accommodate the freight traffic that drives the economy in Metro Atlanta.
“The Regional Freight Mobility Plan provides a roadmap to help metro Atlanta accommodate ever-increasing freight traffic volumes while enhancing safety, boosting the economy, and preserving our quality of life,” ARC Executive Director & CEO Anna Roach said. “The plan is a critical tool that will guide investments and inform decisionmaking over the next several decades.”
Metro Atlanta is one of the nation’s largest hubs, with connections to the Port of Savannah, the nation’s fourth-busiest container port. Volumes of freight and e-commerce are expected to rise even more in the next 25 years due to population growth in the region and ports.
The plan will include updates such as freight design guidelines, county-
level factsheets, an interactive freight dashboard, a model truck parking zoning ordinance and a list of 147 recommended transportation project to improve freight mobility and safety in the region.
Freight traffic has a chance of doubling by 2050, to combat this the plan has developed two freight growth scenarios. The “low-growth scenario” with 69 percent and a “high-growth scenario” with 118 percent will provide plans for the coming years.
In 2019, Georgia saw a total freight volume of 31 million tons with a total value of $398.5 billion. The state is currently ranked fifth in the nation and first in the Southeast, with one in three jobs associated with the sector.
Efforts for the freight planning will continue in the coming years, including a creation of additional Freight Cluster Plans in areas with significant industrial development. The plans will focus on facilitating the movement of goods, reducing traffic congestion and improving safety, mobility and access for all roadway users.

Irish-based group keeps party going
By SARAH COYNE sarah@appenmedia.com
SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — St. Patrick’s Day doesn’t run 24 hours in Sandy Springs. The city kept the celebration going March 22 with the Festival by the Springs.
Community members turned out in their best green attire to keep the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day alive.
“It’s something that we’re presenting for the good of the community and in celebration of Irish history, culture [and] arts,” Northside Irish Culture & Arts President Mike Moors said.
Now in its third year, the festival shines a spotlight on Irish Culture, while celebrating the patron saint of Ireland. Visitors enjoyed an afternoon filled with the spirit of Ireland with performances from Burke Connolly Dance, The Roundabouts, The Phoenix School of Irish Arts, Drake Irish Dance, The Muckers and the North Springs High School Band.
Northside Irish Culture & Art, a local nonprofit, organizes the event to promote and preserve the Irish culture, arts, traditions, history and sports.
A presentation of the colors with the Metropolitan Atlanta Police Emerald Society kicked off the event. The society is a nonpolitical fraternal organization with more than 350 members made up of Irish law enforcement officers in Metro Atlanta.
To honor Ireland, a student from The Phoenix School of Irish Arts sang the Irish National Anthem, “The Soldier’s Song.”
Sandy Springs Mayor Rusty Paul showed off his Irish-American heritage by singing “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
A final prayer was given from Kevin Peek, chaplain of the Archbishop Donoghue Division of the Ancient Order of Hibernians in Atlanta, the oldest Irish Catholic Fraternal Organization.
“The celebration of an event ought to be an organic development, it ought to be an expression of what has been accomplished,” Peek said.
Consul General of Ireland in Atlanta Frank Groome spoke about his home country.
“As the birthplace of the civil rights movements, Georgia has inspired Northern Ireland in its pursuit for social and economic equality and we continue to learn from each other today,” Groome said.
This year, the event was held at the City Springs Entertainment Lawn at Heritage Sandy Springs, rather than the City Green next to the Sandy Springs City Hall.
Children took the opportunity to celebrate the holiday withs crafts and music. Guests visited vendors selling a variety of Irish wares, foods and drinks.
“The celebration that we have here is a much more appropriate expression of the accomplishments of Saint Patrick,” Peek said.

Sandy Springs needlepoint business thrives with art
By HAYDEN SUMLIN hayden@appenmedia.com
SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — The Nimble Needle, a fullservice shop tucked behind Sandy Springs City Hall off Johnson Ferry Road, is bucking the belief that needlepoint is a dying art.
Owner Jan Rodgers said the COVID-19 pandemic saw a resurgence in needlepoint with Americans stuck at home with a desire to shut out the noise in an uncertain and accelerating world.
Some people enjoy the repetitive and relaxing nature of needlepoint, using the artform to relax after getting home from work or as an activity away from cellphones with friends.
There’s an online world of social media influencers and writers promoting and celebrating needlepoint as a practice in mindfulness and a hobby away from screens.
Popular reality TV shows like “Bridgerton” and an endorsement from megastar Taylor Swift have cemented needlepoint’s comeback with young women around the world.
“This is actually our third location; we started over by the Punchline [off Hilderbrand Drive] and then we were in this center up by the dry cleaners, the location was about half this size,” Rodgers said. “We moved here just over three years ago.”
The Nimble Needle just celebrated its 16th anniversary March 11 as a locally owned and operated business.
Rodgers said she bought the shop from the original owner Stacy Brown in 2018.
“I had worked for Stacey the years that she was open,” Rodgers said. “Not full-time, I was actually a sales rep most of the time, but I worked for her some of the time and taught a lot of classes.”
Things were going so well in 2022 that the shop needed to expand and find more space for its weekly help sessions, classes hosted by special guest artists, hundreds of canvasses and thread.
“I bought it about a year and a half before COVID, and actually it wasn’t bad for our business because people were stuck at home looking for things to do,” Rodgers said. “People started painting, doing puzzles and stitching.”
The Nimble Needle employs 16 women.
“Plus, a data entry person and a social media person,” Rodgers said. “And my husband actually left his job two years ago … he does the website and a lot of the data entry too.”

The COVID-19 pandemic saw an explosion in people interested in needlepoint.

Tim Rodgers, Jan’s husband, worked in the IT industry before stepping away and helped create the shop’s first website.
Emmie Rodgers, one of Jan’s daughters, is the Nimble Needle’s social media manager.
She said there’s been a wave of young women interested in needlepoint during and after the pandemic.
Emmie Rodgers said sometimes men show up to classes, often brought along by their girlfriends, but needlepoint is really something that anyone can pick up if they want to.
Jan Rodgers said the Nimble Needle’s social media presence has made a real difference bringing more people into the shop.
Some customers have been stitching for decades and others just picked up a canvas after watching a recent wave of TikTok videos promoting the hobby as an alternative to cell phone and social media addiction.
The blending of different generations at the Nimble Needle, including teenagers and grandmothers, makes its community rare.
Rodgers said the back of the shop at 206B Johnson Ferry Road was originally supposed to be the classroom, but it wasn’t big enough for most of them. Instead, the Nimble Needle hosts workshops and classes around three large wooden tables in the front of the shop.
“We teach beginner classes … how to paint canvasses … finish your stitch piece into an ornament,” Rodgers said. “Then, we have national teachers who come in for what they call embellishment classes where they take a canvass and tell you what kind of stitches to use on it.”
There’s usually one or two classes open to the public on weekends.
Because needlepoint is an artform, businesses avoid large corporate competition with an emphasis on the community of artists, experienced stitchers and beginners.
Needlepoint is an intricate art form, requiring a dedication to detail, patience and a willingness to learn. The number of different stitches, ranging in complexity, can be intimidating for novices, but local shops like the Nimble Needle exist to provide all ability levels with some guidance.
“Canvasses are stitch painted, so there’s a dot of paint on every intersection of the canvass,” Rodgers said. “All the canvasses that you see on the wall are hand-painted; They are starting to print some canvasses, but it’s a kind of kludgy process as far as trying to get lines straight, so ink ends up
on every intersection of canvass.”
Despite all the advancements in human technology, needlepoint artists still prefer methods used by the ancient Egyptians more than 3,000 years ago.
Rodgers said the technology isn’t quite there yet to make printed canvasses as viable as traditional, painted ones. She said once you’ve made a stitch, it’s difficult to know what’s underneath, which makes each drop of paint crucial to the look of the final product, whether it be a pillow, wall hanging or belt.
Twice a week on Monday mornings and Wednesday evenings, the shop hosts a help session.
“Marcie Slotin teaches the help classes,” Rodgers said. “It’s just bring whatever you’re working on, and she will help you learn new stitches and try new threads.”
People from around the Metro Atlanta, the state of Georgia and the Southeast patronize the Nimble Needle in Sandy Springs.
Rodgers said there’s an existing needlepoint shop in midtown Atlanta and Savannah just got a new one, but there are not a lot of options close by. She said the 15 miles between the two Metro Atlanta shops sometimes takes an hour to navigate.
All of the new people interested in needlepoint puts a smile on Rodgers’ face.
“We give out some beginner information, and we have to constantly remake that,” she said. “We’re seeing a lot of new stitchers and younger ones, which is good for the future.”
The Nimble Needle at 206B Johnson Ferry Road lies within the City Springs downtown district, just a couple of blocks from Sandy Springs City Hall.

Is Lidocaine a secret weapon against cancer?
We always worry about the negative side-effects that a medicine might have. At the end of a pharmaceutical company’s commercials, an auctioneer very quickly states the twenty terrible things that might happen if you take the advertised medicine. Side effects range from your ear falling off when you sneeze to the belief that you are Elvis. Side-effects make almost any medicine sound scary. But occasionally, a positive side effect emerges. Sometimes, we discover something wonderful about a medicine that is wholly unexpected. Examples of positive side-effects are not hard to find. The medicine finasteride was first being used to help decrease the size of the prostate in men who were having difficulty urinating. An unexpected positive side-effect was discovered when it
was noticed that many of the men were re-growing their scalp hair. With finasteride, male pattern baldness was often partially reversed or stopped in its tracks.
One of the most recent medications discovered to have a possible positive side effect is lidocaine, which has been around since 1943. Lidocaine is an injectable anesthetic. We use lidocaine for skin biopsies, excisions, Mohs surgeries and countless other procedures every day in the dermatology office. Amazingly, lidocaine may be more than an anesthetic. It may also have anticancer effects.
A team of surgeons in India operating on breast cancer divided patients into two groups. One group had standard breast cancer surgery. The other group received a lidocaine injection around the tumor 7-10 minutes prior to surgery. During

the 5 years after surgery, the group that received the lidocaine injection had an 8.5% rate of the cancer recurring (popping up again) at a distant site versus an 11.6% rate of distant recurrence in the surgeryonly (no lidocaine) group. The study has some limitations including not being a double-blind trial and being a single-center study, but it is intriguing enough to warrant further investigation. The authors reported that injecting lidocaine around breast cancer before removing it increased survival in their study.
What made the surgeons perform this study in the first place? Why lidocaine? Over the last few years, researchers have discovered that electrical gradients maintained across the membranes of cancer cells are important to their ability to metastasize or spread. Our cells have pumps in them called “ion channels.” They allow certain ions to pass across the cell membrane. The resulting ion concentration gradient creates an electrical charge across a cell. This gradient affects the way other proteins in the cell function. Importantly, some of the proteins affected by the charge
across a cell membrane are important for healthy cells’ growth and development as well as for cancers’ ability to grow and spread.
Lidocaine works by blocking sodium channels in cell membranes. Disrupting the electric charge across a cancer cell membrane was suspected to have the potential to weaken the cancer itself. Pre-clinical studies supported this hypothesis, and the breast cancer surgeons took the next step of performing a trial with breast cancer patients and peritumoral lidocaine injections.
I don’t know if breast cancer surgeons in the United States consider these results valid, are awaiting confirmatory studies or are already injecting lidocaine. However, in dermatology, these results are exciting because, for now, we do not need to change anything that we are already doing. Every day that I perform Mohs surgery, we inject the area around a tumor with lidocaine prior to surgically removing the cancer. If lidocaine is more than an anesthetic, then our patients are likely already benefiting from any anti-cancer properties that lidocaine has.
Mohs surgery is the gold standard for treating most skin cancers and has a cure rate that is usually at or above 99%. Perhaps lidocaine is one of the secrets to this success.
What exactly is IRMAA?
Some of you are aware of this acronym, IRMAA. But what is it, and how could it affect you?
IRMAA stands for Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount. It is a government surcharge added to your monthly Medicare Part B and Part D Premium if your Adjusted Gross Income exceeds certain government income thresholds.
A client recently said to me, “We’ve finally outrun IRMAA”, which I thought was a clever way to phrase the situation they were in. See, this year’s IRMAA is based on a 2-year look-back from tax-year 2023. In her situation, they had a large income year in 2022, which would have significantly increased their payment to Medicare. Since they had access to a pretty decent employer-based health insurance, they stayed put until the IRMAA lookback rolled into the next tax year.
The Medicare IRMAA surcharge is on a rolling system. So, if you continue to work past age 65 and have significant ups and downs in your income, then some years you might be subject to the surcharge and some years you might not.
A simple search-engine web search for “Medicare IRMAA” should pull up multiple resources that dive deep into this issue.
Make sure you are looking at the right numbers! Keep in mind:
• The tax year the government is basing their calculations on (2-year look-back)
• Marital status - if married, the government allows for a higher income threshold
• Know your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI)
Medicare IRMAA is a Medicare topic, but most professional accountants will be very familiar with this part of the law. You should seek counsel from them when calculating AGI and for other tax related guidance. I am not a professional accountant and can only professionally guide you with your Medicare insurance.

Varmints meet the match in fearless pest remover
MIKE
Some words are just loads of fun to say, or for that matter, write. “Varmint” is such a word, ranking right up there with “bastid,” one of the late Papa Kenny Cagle’s favorites. Recently, some bastid varmints decided to embark on a full-scale invasion in our attic. At all hours of the night, these miscreant invaders were not only noisy, but downright rude. There was a disconcerting din emanating from a place where there should be pristine silence.
As I’ve grown older, an uninterrupted good night’s sleep is a gift and these furry bastids did their varmint best to keep me up by playing tag as they scurried about. I could only imagine, rodent games that did nothing to increase the value of our home while, at the same time, giving me the willies as to what damage these uninvited guests were wreaking.
Being a lifelong fan of Looney Tunes and Bugs Bunny cartoons, I longed for having Yosemite Sam in my iPhone contacts. Along with having the coolest moustache this side of Sam Elliott’s in “Tombstone,” Sam’s method of dispatching varmints utilized a double-barreled shotgun that Bugs often gummed up, thus rendering the weapon useless.
I contemplated breaking out my 12-gauge Remington pump and having an attic OK Corral moment with the varmints. I even thought of going into the attic with my Daisy Reg Ryder BB rifle and having a showdown.
Not a viable solution since the rifle is less than powerful, so much so that the squirrels giggle like Rangoon idiots when I pop them a good one while they taunt me in the backyard. My dislike of squirrels is fortified by Brent Musburger’s saying that a squirrel “is a rat with a good PR man.”
With a shotgun not a viable option, it was time to call an expert. That’s where David Stevens came in. He strikes fear in the heart of any varmint who has become a nuisance. David was also the fearless professional who triumphed over several yellow jacket nests last summer.
David showed up with his supplyladen Forsyth Exterminating van that was packed to the gills with a variety of traps that was the first step in introducing Armageddon to our squirrel menagerie. After setting the traps, it was like fishing with a crappie jig, just waiting for some action.
Sure enough, the racket commenced, and David cautiously went into the at-

From time to time, I try to write for my kids and my grandchildren. I have done so in the past and it has usually taken the form of a “letter” to (name). Recently I was with a group of folks about my age, and we were talking about our lives and our families. The talk ended up being more involved and more granular than I think anyone had anticipated. It was not something that made anyone uncomfortable at the time but after we all went our separate ways, I am sure some - if not most - of us replayed the conversations to ourselves. It was one of those - and perhaps - worth passing on.
or something to give meaning to life - no hard failures, no tragic losses, and yes, a successful marriage to the childhood sweetheart and near perfect flawless children. But those few friends are more the exception surely. The rest of us have to work harder - have to endure more - have to climb at least a few of those rocky mountains.
Loss
Learn that loss is the other side of something / anything that sustains you - that nourishes you - that makes climbing those mountains doable. There is a reason loss exists; it is not just a random thing. It is the parent of endurance, strength, and faith and a promise that there will be another sunrise - a sunrise that you need. To lose requires you to heal. Healing is that sunrise.
tic. Only the squirrel wasn’t in a trap. Rather, it had been trapped in the ladder that led into the attic. Donning a glove in order to not be nipped by a cantankerous rodent that knew the jig was up, David freed the varmint, which lost a portion of its bushy tail.
The squirrel’s fate was better than it deserved as David transported it to a rural area where it could frolic with pests of its ilk, hopefully far away from a homeowner’s attic.
The exterminating crew re-sealed the attic, thwarting any access points for the pesky pests. Unfortunately, a squatter squirrel didn’t get the eviction notice and decided to remain behind in the lockeddown attic.
True to its innate nature, the squirrel raised a racket for a few weeks until it found a trap and went to that big oak tree in the sky.
So, silence has returned to the attic and no sound is a blessed sound.

After I left, and in a hurry, I texted myself this: “loss, love, pain, and redemption.” While that conversation was still fresh, I wanted to make sure that I saved as much of it as I could - and that started with those four words. We covered a lot of ground my friends and I and I felt that those words would preserve - hopefully - what I wanted to remember most. I was afraid that if I didn’t it would disappear much like my dreams disappear that I don’t write down as soon as I wake up.
Years ago, my wife Christina traveled down to Columbus, GA with a group from Milton High School - the drama department - for a state-wide contest. She was waiting outside in the lobby by herself when another parent walked out and sat down on the same bench. He was quiet - thoughtful - and they both sat for a time in their own space. Then he looked over to her and spoke: “my life didn’t turn out how I thought it would.” Christina recounted the conversation to me, and I have never forgotten it.
My life didn’t turn out how I thought it would. Most lives don’t. Not really.
Yes, I do have a few friends who seem to have breezed through life and everything generally workedwent the way it was “supposed” to go - no major trauma, no cancers or tragic car wrecks, no years of wandering out in the wilderness trying to find a career or a spouse,
Love
Learn that love is grace. It is God’s gift to us all. Love is the lens through which life evolves - all of life. Without love - without falling in love - without knowing love of others - indeed, life does not turn out how we thought it would. Love colors an otherwise black and white world.
Pain
Loss and love require pain. Knowing pain is to know loss and love. Pain is never fun. Sometimes it is unbearable. Sometimes it seems like it will never end. It will end. There is a reason for it; it leads to finding love and ultimately healing.
Redemption
Redemption is kindness - for yourself and for those you love. Redemption is why we get up every morning and put one foot in front of the other. Redemption is finding gratitude. Redemption is finding grace. Redemption is where love leads. It is the reward - the reward for us all.
It’s all related and connected. Its magic. It heals. It nurtures.
Expecting life to turn out how you wanted it to - how you thought it would -may not be as important simply as how you lived the life you lived and appreciating that. Love, loss, pain, and redemption all involve other people in addition to you. The more your focus is on them and their lives - and not on your own - the closer your “how I expected” will be to what you hoped.

The programs have already reached notable success and level of participation with the district’s staff and administration, Lowe said.
Since 2018, 35 graduates of the Aspiring Principals program have received promotions. The program is now working with seven staff members. The program’s participants are assistant principals who have served for three years or longer and have received a recommendation from their supervisors.
Lowe said he is a graduate of the program’s first cohort.
At least 123 aspiring teachers, assistant principals and other staff have participated in the Lead Academy to develop leadership skills. The Lead Counselor Program is currently working with 14 district counselors to develop their abilities.
“We are looking at how we can train these people to be more consistent to be sure they are leading and not just counseling,” Lowe said.
The Aspiring to Actual is an intense multi-session program that works with administrators soon after they are named into their role. The program takes a “deep dive” into core values and motivations to ensure they start their role successfully.
The programs aim to allow district staff and administrators a ladder of professional advancement opportunities by providing the necessary training.
“Just because you are a great teacher doesn’t mean you don’t have the drive and desire the knack to be a great administrator down the line,” Lowe said.
Forsyth County Schools Chief of Staff Josh Lowe tells school board members about programs designed to develop the district’s next generation of leaders at a March 18 meeting.
For example, a substitute might find a career as a professional teacher before becoming an instructional coach, athletic director or counselor and then rise to a role as a principal or even the superintendent.

A $7 million premium will allow the county to borrow less than the maximum $100 million approved by voters.
Forsyth County enjoys an AAA credit rating, the highest rating issued. Only three other Georgia counties — Cobb, Columbia and Gwinnett — have AAA credit ratings.
Voters approved a 1 percent Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) program in November that is expected to generate about $354 million over six years. County officials have identified several dozen possible projects to fund with the money, from road and intersection improvements to park renovations to law enforcement equipment.
Unlike alternative methods of funding projects, like budget increases and bonds, the SPLOST program receives considerable funding from residents who live outside the county.
Roadwork leads allocation distribution at about 34 percent, with parks and recreation second at about 20 percent. The fire department could receive about 18 percent of the money.
Commissioners will need to ap -
“It’s all intertwined with leadership development programs to help support people as they go through the proposed chains and pathways of leadership in our community,” Lowe said.
Proposed project list
Potential SPLOST projects include:
Road and intersection improvements
Longstreet Church Road
Elmo Road at Bannister Road
Hurt Bridge Road atHolbrook Road
Majors Road at Shiloh Road
Shady Grove Road at Chattahoochee Road
Road widenings
McFarland Parkway
McGinnis Ferry Road
Trails and sidewalks
Jot Em Down Road multi-use trail
Kelly Mill Road sidewalk
Nichols Drive sidewalk
Christopher Robin Road sidewalk
Parks & Recreation
Sharon Springs Park renovation
Big Creek Greenway repairs
prove a final project list.
The county wants to begin the projects as soon as possible because any interest earned on unspent bond proceeds that exceeds what the county pays in interest could have to be paid to the federal government, Clark said.
“We're very eager to get started,” he said.
