Good morning, Greensboro.

An officer-involved shooting by State Troopers closed parts of I-85 South on May 15 after officers pulled over a speeding vehicle near mile marker 118—when a male passenger fired shots as a female driver said she was assaulted—and police later pursued the suspect for eight miles until he was captured and hospitalized in critical condition while the woman and troopers remained unharmed.

Guilford County Schools is proposing to close four elementary schools—Madison, Southern, Vandalia, and Washington—over the next two academic years because low enrollment has reduced the district's capacity and will save $1.7 million in operating costs annually; a public hearing on the plan will be held on June 10.

At UNC Greensboro, the Spartan Club Showcase highlighted a semester of student involvement by featuring four clubs that built strong friendships and career skills.

The event also showed how club fairs and campus activities helped students connect & grow both academically and personally.

Guilford County Manager Mike Halford presented his proposed fiscal 2025-2026 budget of $842 million on May 15, increasing last year's $834 million and providing funds for education, public safety and health services – work sessions on June 10 and June 12 and a public hearing on June 5 will guide final adoption on June 18.
