#SCSCelebrates | Today, Surry County Schools hosted its Annual SAVE Promise Summit at Surry Community College. Students were able to report the ways they spread kindness at their schools, discuss upcoming projects, and collaborate with other SAVE Promise Club members within Surry County Schools. What an awesome opportunity for students to lead with others! 🎉🧡💡

Great morning so far at the SAVE Promise District Summit! This is a great opportunity for our school clubs across the district to connect and generate ideas for the new year!

I'm happy to begin my journey as a Communications Intern at Surry County Schools! I look forward to posting updates and sharing my work throughout this process. Stay tuned for more! 😊

#SCSUpdates | Please see the following statement from the Surry County Board of Education: "To the Surry County Schools Community, At its June 2, 2025 meeting, the Surry County Board of Education approved a motion to create a Memorandum of Understanding with the Surry County Schools Educational Foundation to address the source of payment for the position of Foundation Director and the amount of funds to be distributed each year by the Foundation to the Surry County Schools. This action did not affect the employment or the term of employment of the person serving as Foundation Director. Also at its June 2 meeting, the Board of Education approved a motion to eliminate the position of Safety Director effective with the 2025-2026 school year. This action did not result in the termination of any employee of the Surry County Schools. Contracted administrators whose positions are eliminated are entitled to reassignment to equivalent administrative positions. We want to clearly state that no individual was relieved of employment by action of the Board of Education on June 2, 2025. The Board of Education remains committed to thoughtful and responsible stewardship of public resources, as well as open communication with our staff, families, and community. Sincerely, The Surry County Board of Education"
