OC Trustees approve 2016-17 School Calendar

The second of three calendar options for 2016-17 recently received approval from the Board of Trustees for the School District of Oconee County. That option comes at the recommendation of administrators and with few changes from previous academic years, explains Oconee County Schools Superintendent Dr. Michael Thorsland. “It’s pretty similar to the calendars that we’ve had over the past few years. We are fairly limited in our choices with the start date being mandated by the Legislature, so that limits our opportunities for differences.” In the 2016-17 academic year, teachers report in the School District of Oconee County on Aug. 8 with the first day of school for students on Aug. 15 and the last day is June 1.
