Students were to receive permission slips to take home one week before the clinic, according to Cecelia Davidson, Aiken County's associate superintendent of administration. Dr. Davidson said schools with no clinics scheduled will offer them after winter holidays. Students may not ask to transfer to a clinic outside of their zoned school, she said. Parents may contact individual schools or the district office for more information.
