Board approves 2018-19 Calendar for SDOC

The 2018-19 calendar was approved last night by the Board of Trustees for the School District of Oconee County (SDOC). Superintendent Dr. Michael Thorsland gives details. “It calls for students to come back on Aug. 20, 2018, which is kind of late but that is the first day that we were able to open school because of the South Carolina Legislature’s statute that students can’t start before the third Monday in August, so, a late start for students. We are going to have seven in-service days prior to that and that helps us maximize the number of instructional days before testing.” For more information on the SDOC, visit their website at www.oconee.k12.sc.us.
