Bamberg School District One

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

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

History
Phyllis Schwarting was superintendent until 2020.

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. In 2022 it merged with Bamberg School District Two to form Bamberg County School District.
