Guilford County Schools (GCS) is holding two public forums to give community members an opportunity to hear the results of a GCS economic impact analysis produced by the University of North Carolina at Greensboro’s Center for Business and Economic Research. In addition, GCS will present information on the projects included in the 2008 bond referendum.

One forum will take place in Greensboro and another in High Point:

• Monday, April 14 at 4:30 p.m., Andrews High, 1920 McGuinn Drive, High Point, NC

• Wednesday, April 16 at 4:30 p.m., Smith High, 2407 S. Holden Road, Greensboro, NC

Andrew Brod, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research, will discuss key findings that show how GCS benefits the Piedmont Triad by providing a quality education for students and supporting the economic welfare of Guilford County.

GCS is the largest employer in Guilford County. As the area grows, so does the influence GCS has on many indicators of economic health, such as job creation, wage earnings and the availability of a trained work force. This analysis contains information vital for elected officials, community leaders and decision-makers.
