SDOC Statement

The following statement was issued today by the School District of Oconee County:

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims and with the entire community of Uvalde, Texas.

To offer extra assurance to our elementary school students and families for the final few days of school, we have increased officers available to our schools.  If a school is holding an off-campus program, a school resource officer will be present at the event while an additional officer will remain at the school.

This is not in response to any information about a threat to our schools; it is to provide an extra measure of safety, support and reassurance for our students, staff, families and community.”
