SDOC Board to Fill Vacancy After Passing of Jerry Lee

With the passing of Mr. Jerry Lee, District I representative, the School District of Oconee County Board of Trustees has a vacancy.

After consultation with Joy Scharich, the Oconee County Election Director, school district legal council, and the South Carolina School Boards Association, it has been determined that the current Board of Trustees will appoint an individual residing in District I to serve a two-year term to complete the remainder of Mr. Jerry Lee’s term. The two-year term is necessary to reach the next county-wide election in November 2022.

After a special noon meeting on Tuesday, the board plans further discussion at the next regularly scheduled meeting on October 12, with more discussion and a possible vote the following week, during their October 19th meeting.
