SDOC Board hears presentation on Inclement Weather Days

At their work session meeting this week, Oconee County Schools Superintendent Dr. Michael Thorsland made a presentation to the Board of Trustees on forgiving two inclement weather days. “The school district has missed five days due to weather this year. South Carolina Law requires school districts to have three inclement weather make up days built into their calendar, which we do, but they allow the next three days to be forgiven by the local school board if that is what the school board desires. Some of our neighboring districts have already taken that action and forgiven those two additional days. So, we presented to the board our plan to ask for that and they will vote on that recommendation next week.” To read the complete calendar for the School District of Oconee County (SDOC), visit www.oconee.k12.sc.us.
