# Florence 1 School Board Meeting- October 8, 2026

Florence 1 Schools Board of Trustees meeting, October 8, 2026: The board recognized Honda of South Carolina as a community impact partner for its long-standing support of Brockington Elementary, including donations, volunteer work, and student-focused activities. The meeting also honored the district’s principal, assistant principal, teacher, and support employee of the year. A member of the public asked about district students’ performance on state assessments and the effectiveness of the district’s curriculum.

The board approved the financial statements, prior meeting minutes, personnel sheet, and field trip requests in a single vote; no dollar amounts were stated. Proposed policy and administrative-rule changes concerning paid parental leave—reflecting changes in law, including adding stillbirth as a qualifying event and increasing leave in some cases from two weeks to four—were presented for consideration, with a vote expected next month. The board also selected delegates for the 2026 SCSBA Delegate Assembly, upheld hearing-officer decisions on two appeals, and adjourned. No contract awards, solicitations, vendor selections, or other district procurement actions were identified.
