Good morning, Greenville.

About 170 Pitt County seniors celebrated the bi-annual Golden Years Senior Prom last Saturday afternoon, organized by the Pitt County Sheriff’s Office to honor community contributions through dancing, dining, and fellowship.

Sponsors noted that they will look for a larger venue for future events.

The Pitt County Board of Education plans to request more than $64 million in county funding to cover rising school costs — nearly $10 million above last year’s budget.

This funding request will support schools as they adjust to increased operating expenses.

Effective 8:00 a.m. today, officials lifted the statewide ban on open burning in 81 counties, though burning within 100 feet of occupied dwellings remains restricted (local fire marshals may impose further limits) and new permits must be obtained.
