Darlington County School District (DCSD) is now offering free flu and COVID testing to school district students, employees, and their households.
Both tests are available at the DCSD Administrative Building at 120 E. Smith Avenue in Darlington and at the Darlington County Virtual Academy building (formerly the West Hartsville Elementary School) at 214 Clyde Road in Hartsville.
