The school district is introducing a new flag:
https://thetandd.com/news/local/orangeburg-county-school-district-to-raise-new-flag-thursday/
Orangeburg County’s recently-consolidated school system will display its
unity in a new way beginning Thursday, when every campus and office location
throughout the county raises the new Orangeburg County School District flag.
On Thursday, Dec. 10, 2020, at 11:30 a.m., an outdoor, socially-distanced
ceremony will be held at the district office where the new flag will be raised
for the first time.
Ceremonies will also be held at each of the
district’s 32 school campuses and work locations throughout the county, when all
will ceremoniously raise the flag together at the same time.
The flags
will be flown on weekdays underneath the United States flag and the South
Carolina state flag. The flags will be raised and lowered according to national
flag standards and will observe federal and state guidelines during times of
observance and mourning.

From
https://thetandd.com/news/local/orangeburg-county-school-district-flags:
"We are one!" has been the rallying cry for Orangeburg County School
District officials since the county’s three former districts were consolidated
into one. The school district took another step toward unity on Thursday morning
as it held simultaneous ceremonies at each school campus and office location
throughout the county, with each raising the new district flag.
“Flags
are a powerful symbol of pride and demonstrate respect for the ideals that the
particular flag stands for,” District Assistant Superintendent for
Communications and Business and Community Partnerships Merry Glenne Piccolino
said.
The new flag carries the district logo, which was designed as a
symbol of academic excellence with a large letter O, representing a
continuation; a graduation cap on top of the O, representing academics and a
star in the middle of the O, representing excellence.
The Orangeburg
Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
sponsored the flags.
