Greenville County Schools and Spartanburg District Five schools are preparing to transition approximately 85,000 students from in-class instruction to at-home learning following the statewide closure of schools ordered this weekend by Governor Henry McMaster.
To ensure the students of Greenville County schools continue to receive healthy and nutritious meals during the time schools are closed in response to COVID-19, Greenville County Schools will be providing breakfasts and lunches free of charge to anyone 18 and younger at 15 District locations Monday through Friday.
