New Organization Chart for SDOC

A new organization chart is under consideration by the Board of Trustees for the School District of Oconee County (SDOC). At their work session meeting this week, Oconee County Schools Superintendent Dr. Michael Thorsland presented a chart that lists Assistant Superintendent of Operations Steve Hanvey as second in command. “We have not had it set up like that where there was kind of a second in command. We’ve had three assistant superintendent level positions all equivalent and that actually first came up when I was assistant superintendent and Dr. Mike Lucas went out on medical leave. The board members just mentioned that it might be a good thing to have someone designated as being second in command for situations like that. So, I’ve just asked the board to consider that.” The board will further discuss and possibly vote on the new origination chart for the SDOC at their next meeting. If approved, Hanvey would assume the new title of associate superintendent of education on July 1.
