Oconee County School Board Authorizes Superintendent, Sheriff To Reach Agreement To Put Resource Officers In All 14 Schools

***Decision Follows Packed Meeting***

Well more than 100 people filled the seats and the isles of the Board room at the Oconee County Schools new Instructional Support Center on Monday night to make sure the Board got the message that they wanted action following the Sept. 4 mass shooting at Apalachee High School in Barrow County.

Twenty of those present spoke, with most calling explicitly for the placement of school resource officers in each of Oconee County’s 12 schools.
