Oconee County Schools and the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office have been talking about installing school resource officers in the system’s schools for 10 years and intensely for the last five years, Sheriff James Hall said at the meeting of the Oconee County Republican Party on Monday night.
As a result, he said, now that the Board of Education has voted to develop an agreement with the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office to install deputies in the schools, it should be possible to move forward with those plans quickly.
