- The Greenville Independent School District will be hosting a public informational event this Saturday. Presented as a “Coffee Talk,” topics are expected to include the next fiscal year’s budget, including special allocations for maintenance and repairs. The district will recognize the board’s acceptance of a $1,500 donation from L3Harris to Hope’s Heart Community Closet. That program offers support to members of the local community who are struggling with poverty, homelessness, trauma or mental health issues. The event is scheduled to start at 9 a.m. Saturday. The Wesley Martin Administration Building is located at 4004 Moulton St. The district has asked that those wanting to attend provide an RSVP.
