Three current members of the Greeneville City Board of Education attended their final meeting as board members on Tuesday, the same day Dr. Matthew Drinnon participated in his first in his official capacity as Director of Schools.
The elected terms of Crystal Hirschy, Cindy Luttrell and Dr. Craig Shepherd end this month.
During his Director’s Report near the end of the meeting, Dr. Drinnon said the following about each:
