Forsyth County Schools names new director of technology services

Forsyth County Schools has named Tim Fleming as its director of technology services, putting him at the center of the district’s day-to-day digital operations for more than 54,000 students and staff across Forsyth County.

The job goes far beyond fixing computers. In Forsyth County Schools, Technology Services is one of three branches inside the Technology and Information Services Department, alongside Instructional Technology and Information Systems. The unit is responsible for planning, implementing and supporting the district’s technology infrastructure, including firewalls, servers, access points, laptops, desktops, Chromebooks and other tools used in classrooms and offices.

That work matters in a system that has grown quickly. Forsyth County Schools says it now serves over 54,000 students, operates 42 schools, including 23 elementary schools, 11 middle schools and 8 high schools, and also runs 7 support facilities. Enrollment has climbed 40% over the past decade, and the district says its students come from 129 countries and speak 69 languages.

Fleming’s new role sits under Chief Technology and Information Officer Mike Evans, who is listed in the district’s technology staff directory. The placement signals that the district is keeping technology leadership close to operations as it manages a larger, more diverse student body and a heavier reliance on connected devices and network access.

The appointment also comes as Forsyth County Schools continues to expand its technology footprint. The district ties registration and technology training to the Technology Training and Innovation Center at 1140 Dahlonega Highway in Cumming, a reminder that technology support is woven into core district functions rather than treated as a separate back-office service.

Forsyth County Schools’ public news page has also recently featured leadership appointments in other departments, suggesting Fleming’s hiring is part of a broader round of staffing changes. For families and teachers, the practical test will be whether the new leadership keeps classroom devices online, support response times short and the district’s systems stable as enrollment keeps rising.
