Bamberg School District One (BSD1) was a school district headquartered in Bamberg, South Carolina, United States.

Contents

It had the eastern portion of the county, including Bamberg and Ehrhardt. [1]

History

Phyllis Schwarting was superintendent until 2020. [2]

Circa 2019 the state government of South Carolina offered money to small school districts willing to consolidate. A belief in these districts was that the state government could at another point force a consolidation and not give additional money to the forcibly merged districts. This prompted the merger of the Bamberg County districts. [3] In 2022 it merged with Bamberg School District Two to form Bamberg County School District. [4]

Schools

It formerly operated Ehrhardt Elementary School. [6] In 2008 the Bamberg 1 district sought to close Ehrhardt Elementary. Area residents considered filing a lawsuit and attempting to convert the school into a charter school. [7]
