The Greenville County Schools Board of Trustees presented its first reading of a $989.4 million Fiscal Year 2027 budget, emphasizing salary increases and staffing investments.

The Greenville County Schools Board of Trustees approved multiple action items during its latest meeting, including fund balance transfers to support capital improvements and non-recurring expenses. The Board also approved the purchase of land near Fountain Inn Elementary School as part of plans to convert it into a K-8 campus, along with a shared-use agreement with the City of Fountain Inn. Additional approvals included routine planning updates and moving forward with negotiations for the new Donaldson Career Center.
The Greenville County Schools Board of Trustees introduced a new position, a parent resource representative for special education services, to provide a liaison for special needs families in the district. The role will be taken up by Jennifer Meisten, the current principal at Beck International Academy. The Board also discussed efforts to have special needs students recognized at the state level, as some students are not considered on track to graduate by the state education department because their educational track might not result in a standard state diploma.
The Greenville County Schools Board of Trustees honored several district employees at its meeting, including board members Michelle Goodwin-Calwile and Lynda Leventis-Wells for their years of service.

Additionally, the board approved a sanitary sewer easement and a list of innovative and honors courses for the district.
The Greenville County Schools Board of Trustees has approved a letter to be sent to multiple members of the United States Congress, including Sens. Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott, and Reps. William Timmons and Sheri Biggs. The letter addresses upcoming changes to federal education funding. The Board also approved easements for Oakview Elementary School, including a sanitary-sewer easement and an access and parking easement, both of which involve agreements with Five Forks Methodist Church.
The Greenville County Schools Board of Trustees has unanimously approved a draft of its annual comprehensive financial report, which details the financial operations of the school district. The report is being presented as a draft because the auditing process is not fully complete yet. The state requires school districts to submit a copy of their audited financial statements by Dec. 1 of each year. The board also motioned to accept the procurement audit for fiscal years 2022-2024, which was conducted by Greene Finney Cauley (GFC) LLP, a contracted audit firm. Additionally, the board approved three action items from its executive session, including a physical education exemption and the denial of two student discipline appeals.
