GREENVILLE - It came down to the wire last night, which left Greenville Public Schools officials feeling nervous while awaiting the results of Tuesday's elections.
However, the $14.6 million bond proposed by the Greenville Board of Education won 52.78 percent of the vote, with 1,507 voters saying yes. Yet, 1,348 people, representing 47.22 percent of the vote, said no.
Superintendent Pete Haines "was pleased, but not at all surprised" with the results of the election.
"I would like to personally thank the hundreds of community members who participated in setting this vision for our children, especially given pressures from the state budget which threaten these basic funds," Haines said.
