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.[1]
Phyllis Schwarting was superintendent until 2020.[2]
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.[3] In 2022 it merged with Bamberg School District Two to form Bamberg County School District.[4]
It formerly operated Ehrhardt Elementary School.[6] In 2008 the Bamberg 1 district sought to close Ehrhardt Elementary. Area residents considered filing a lawsuit and attempting to convert the school into a charter school.[7]
