School district of pickens county Reviews

They are pathetic and block everything on my kids laptop and they are only giving kids 1 month of summer break. that is the reason i m not letting my kid go back anywhere near SDPC

Have been trying to get someone on the phone all morning to answer my question. I cannot seem to reach not one live person. What needs to be done if your child has a cough that they have been seen by their doctor for for years but the school does not want to revisit the fact that I provided them with paperwork from the doctors office regarding this cough and now we have covid taking everything over are they going to constantly call me to come get my child to be tested for covid?

UPDATE: A very nice woman returned my call. She gave me the number to what I m guessing is the head RN. I was told to ask the RN about what type of paperwork I needed to obtain. I was very polite and tried to quickly give her my child s story. I paused for just a second so I could let her know the reason for my call. She then harshly stated can I talk? Are you finished?! Can I talk now?! I hung the phone up right away because I had already been through so much that morning /afternoon with the way I was spoken to. I cannot remember what her name was but I really hope she sees this message!! She needs reminding that she puts her pants on the same way everyone else does and needs not think any different!! We all know nurses are over worked and under paid. She needs to humble herself.

THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT IS A JOKE!!!
They directly discriminate against disabled children by only dealing with it by disciplining the actions DIRECTLY related to their disability! They have admitted in an IEP meeting that the behaviors my son is exhibiting is a direct result of his disability!
I am a single mom with 5 children and they have now implemented (without my consent or consult) a modified day where he attends half days. WHAT IS HE LEARNING?!?!
The school district is so underfunded and COMPLETELY incompetent!
If your child has Any disabilities GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!
We were even under the McKinney Vento act and they STILL denied my child the right to school choice! They are breaking laws to keep him out of school.
I have consulted with the assistant superintendent, Cliff Alexander and he was like talking to someone reading a script! Absolutly no thoughts of his own and no feelings whatsoever! If you dont like working with children...GET ANOTHER JOB!
We are now seeking counsel and consulting with the news to fight for my son's right to an education!

Totally inadequate and unprepared to educate special needs children or provide therapies. Unprofessional in regard to communication with caregivers. Wholly unprepared for the IEP meeting.

They do NOT care about the SAFETY of any children. So many police reports made at many of their school from Forest Ac. Elem. , Mckissick Elementary and still going due to VIOLENCE , not just bullying words, being allowed to happen!!! So their schools do not get in trouble with the police, their have the teacher help MAKE-UP a LIE about YOU to DSS Department of Social Services, stating the marks on your child were from home. I was quick to proof the calls and reports to DSS were NOT--- TRUE by living our lives under cameras EVERYWHERE my children and I are at all times. We even put GoPro cameras in our cars. What a life to live just to PROVE YOUR innocent of all allegations!!! BEWARE OF THEIR SCHOOLS

I absolutely love Hagood Elementary and Pickens Middle. They followed all guidelines that needed to be meet last year because of covid 19. If I had a problem or my kids had one they would go out of there way to make sure it was addressed or handled. As I read all these comments about the kids only having a month out of school and its two months of summer break. All the negative comments is crazy about this school district and did you even think to voice your opinion to the school bored or do the survey they had us do? They asked for the parents feed back about the school year and what we would like to see happen this school year. Don't come getting mad on here when you didn't voice your opinion or do the survey. If your part of your kids school life then you should know these teachers and staff isn't perfect by no means and neither are you.

Worse district ever! so disorganized; do not know how to communicate to parents; teachers just average- do not move to this district- its awful.
