Alternative School Program

Timmonsville Academic Learning Center (TALC), located at 114 South Kershaw Street, Timmonsville, SC, is the Alternative School for Florence School District Four, Timmonsville, South Carolina. Students are sent to TALC for a multitude of reasons:

• Severe discipline issues at the home school
• Too many discipline incidents
• Level 3 offenses
• Parent referrals
• Transferring into the district from another alternative school
• Returning from DJJ
• Returning from expulsion
• Administrator and/or district office assignment
  ​
  

With each referral to the alternative program there is an in-take orientation for the parents and students where the procedures, purpose of the school, expectations, and rules are explained to them. One hundred percent of the student population is identified as “at risk” due to socio-economics, single parent homes, poor academic achievement, legal issues, and more. Each student at TALC has an individualized plan for graduation because our belief is that the key component to turning negative behaviors into positive behaviors is to keep our students engaged in their education, improve attendance, academic standing, reduce dropout rate, and improve credit attainment toward graduation.
