During Superintendent Weaver’s visit, she traveled to several district locations, including Palmetto’s Finest Winner Delmae Elementary School and Compass Academy.

Superintendent Weaver’s visit highlighted innovation and community partnerships within Florence 1 Schools. At Compass Academy, she learned about the school’s innovative approach to combining K-12 educational and therapeutic services in the school setting. At The Farm, she learned about the district’s mission to create a culture of wellness, improve food quality and access, and engage students in the rich agricultural traditions of the Pee Dee Region.
