FALCONS CONNECT: Board Meeting Update - August 2026 Superintendent Bill Hopkins is keeping the Falcon Family connected with a new video update following meetings of the Florence City Board of Education. Each episode will highlight three things: what we approved, what you need to know, and what we’re celebrating. It’s another way to keep our students, families, staff, and community informed about what’s happening across Florence City Schools. #WeAreFALCONS
