Florence 1 Superintendent Dr. Richard O’Malley said he is thankful for this opportunity for his teachers.

“Florence 1 teachers have gone the extra mile during a really difficult time so we are happy to be able to go the extra mile in providing this opportunity for them,” O’Malley said. “We have been working on a vaccination plan, just waiting for the green light for Phase 1B. We are so grateful to McLeod for making this happen for our teachers. Thanks to them, we will be the first district to have an opportunity for all of our teachers to be vaccinated, regardless of their age or other factors.”

Teachers will get their second dose on April 1st at Darlington Raceway located at 1301 Harry Byrd Hwy in Darlington, SC.
