The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools Board of Education has strengthened its central office with the appointment of two new administrators, focusing on critical operational and support functions.

Jennifer Del Rosario has been named the district's new Director of Payroll. She brings extensive experience in financial management to the role, where she will oversee all payroll operations for the school system's thousands of employees. Ensuring accurate and timely compensation is a foundational responsibility, and Del Rosario's leadership is expected to bring continued stability and efficiency to this essential department.

In a second key hire, the board has appointed Dr. Angela Hairston as the new Director of Student Services. Dr. Hairston will lead efforts to support student well-being and success outside of direct classroom instruction. Her division will encompass a wide range of programs, including counseling, health services, and student engagement initiatives. This appointment underscores the district's commitment to addressing the holistic needs of its diverse student population, recognizing that academic achievement is deeply connected to comprehensive student support.

Both positions are seen as vital to the district's ongoing mission. The new directors will begin their duties immediately, integrating into the district's leadership team as the new school year approaches.
