Oconee County School Board Extends Contract For Superintendent Until 2027, But Refuses To Release Salary And Copy Of Contract

***Must Redo Tax Hearings Because of Scheduling Error***

The Oconee County Board of Education on Monday night, after spending nearly an hour in executive session, voted unanimously in open session to extend the contract of Superintendent Jason Branch until June 30 of 2027.

The Board provided no details of the contract other than the end date, and Board Chair Kim Argo refused to provide a copy of the contract, saying it would be made available only in response to an open records request.
