What happened
The Darlington County School District is planning to replace three schools, including Hartsville High School, because they are over 50 years old and require updates to address safety and accessibility. Due to community concerns over traffic and parking at an initial proposed site, the district is now considering purchasing about 100 acres elsewhere in Hartsville. This effort is tied to a $250 million school bond referendum scheduled for November.
