Committee eyes post‑Labor Day ribbon cutting for Greenville to avoid 'partial' optics
Summary
Members discussed possible August ribbon dates but leaned to waiting until after Labor Day so the community sees a more finished building; no firm date or funding decision was made.
The committee discussed potential ribbon‑cutting dates for the Greenville project and expressed a preference for holding the ceremony after Labor Day so the public sees the building substantially complete.
Staff noted that while the building might be ready in late August, unpacking teacher belongings and finishing punch‑list work could continue; one contractor cautioned that a ribbon cutting while items remain unfinished could create poor optics. "I think it should start in September," a committee member said; others agreed to revisit the exact date at the next meeting and to avoid interfering with ongoing work.
No formal vote was taken; the committee’s direction was to aim for a post‑Labor Day date and confirm timing after staff checks schedule and logistics.
