<br>
The completed card must be submitted to the chairman or his designee prior to the opening of the meeting at 7:00 pm.<br>

<br>
A citizen may provide the board with written information if he/she wishes in lieu of addressing the board or in addition to addressing the board.<br>
<br>
Citizens are not to address personal attacks/complaints against employees of the district during open session.<br>
<br>

===2014 state report cards===
A new round of state report cards released on November 14, 2014, show an improving graduation rate, with more than 80 percent of [[South Carolina]] students able to call themselves graduates. The data also rated 49 out of 82 school districts as either "good" or "excellent," which is a significant improvement from 2009 when only one South Carolina school district achieved an "excellent" rating. In [[Florence County, South Carolina|Florence County]], Florence Public School District One proved to be one of the county's highest performing districts, receiving an "excellent" rating for the third consecutive year. Three out of the six other districts in Florence County received either an "average" or "below average" rating. According to Dana Yow, a spokeswoman for the South Carolina Education Oversight Committee, South Carolina school districts "have done a really good job of focusing on that end result." The data used to compile the report cards is taken from student achievement and other related factors; graduation rate makes up 40 percent of the overall score.<ref>[http://www.scnow.com/news/education/article_9cec1d6e-6c70-11e4-8fa2-83e3ef3bfae9.html ''SC Now,'' "On-time graduation rate increases again in SC," November 14, 2014]</ref>

Academic performance

Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements. To protect student privacy, percentages are reported as ranges for groups of 300 students or fewer. If five or fewer students were included in a data set, the data will display as "PS."[2]

The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:

School year All (%) Asian/Pacific Islander (%) Black (%) Hispanic (%) Native American (%) Two or More Races (%) White (%)
