The Greenville County Schools Board of Trustees approved a package of routine actions at its May 26 meeting, including course approvals, facility namings, a perpetual utility easement, committee appointments, scholarship awards, and two property purchases totaling $2,115,000.
The board approved item 5.01 (innovative and honors course approvals) and item 5.02 to name the Greenville Middle Academy media center for Nikki Andrews. Trustees also approved a perpetual utility easement for Duke Energy Carolinas at the MT Anderson Support Center and accepted the audit-team slate for 2026–27: Amanda Britt, Jeff Cochran, Michelle Goodwin Caldwell, Glenda Morrison Fair and Chuck Sailors.
The board approved the JE Serene scholarship award recipients based on the administration's report. Trustees also adopted the Community Eligibility Program participation resolution for FY27 after a motion by Miss Goodwin; the motion carried by voice vote.
Two property transactions were approved: a purchase of approximately 0.75 acres (clarified on the record to 0.76 acres) adjacent to Wade Hampton High School for $290,000, and a purchase of approximately 0.606 acres near Greenville High Academy for $1,825,000. The chair noted the acreage clarification on the Wade Hampton purchase during the discussion. The board also accepted a quitclaim deed from the South Carolina Department of Transportation regarding Greenville High Academy.
Other routine business included approval of a lease agreement with Greenville Technical College for the Golden Strip Career Center Annex welding facility and a monthly financial report presented for information only.
Most items before the board had been vetted in the committee of the whole and were approved by voice vote or unanimous aye during the meeting; the audio record and minutes do not contain roll-call vote tallies for these motions. Where a maker or seconder was recorded in the minutes, the meeting transcript records that: e.g., Missus Doolin made the motion and Miss Moseley seconded the consent calendar; Miss Goodwin moved the Community Eligibility Program resolution; Miss Linda Leventis Wells moved to adjourn (seconded by Dr. Presley). The meeting adjourned at 6:39 p.m.
Committee liaison reports after the votes included a plan from Mr. Sailors to request a joint meeting with Greenville County Council on tax-invoice readability and to prepare a letter for board approval after the county budget process advances.
