Join Us: Let's Discuss Vaping in Schools and Utilizing Community Resources

The Jasper County Department of Health, JCSD, and PASOs invite you to a community engagement session.

The Department of Health’s Community Engagement Team will provide information on the dangers of vaping and its effects in our schools.

PASOs, a service organization based in Jasper County, will also share details about their programs. They offer support for Latino families in areas such as family health, early childhood education, and the promotion of positive parenting skills.

PASOs helps build a stronger South Carolina by supporting Latino communities through education, advocacy, and leadership development.

Dynamic and Ongoing Strategic Planning at JCSD

To maintain momentum into and beyond the upcoming school year, it is essential for all district leaders and principals to meet. This collaboration will ensure that everyone in the district is aligned and prepared for FY2026, in relation to the district's strategic plan and school improvement plans, as well as for planning the use of federal programs for the 2025-2026 school year.

With this objective in mind, district leaders, led by Dr. Eugene Bellamy, Interim Director of Federal Programs, conducted a full-day session that included several rotations, activities, and discussions. The emphasis was placed on the importance of establishing and maintaining systems that effectively incorporate:

- Collaboration
- Data-driven decision-making
- Parent and family engagement (PFE)
- Stakeholder voice (including teachers, staff, students, parents, and the broader community)
- The interconnectedness of federal spending and the strategic plan
- Continuous improvement: identifying what is working, what is not, and when it's time to pivot
- Evaluative measures at the end of each year: assessing the return on investment
- Federal updates: changes from the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE)

Student-Centered...Future-Focused!

JCSD cultivates an environment of excellence through innovation, inspiration, and opportunities in partnership with the community.
