Open Records Officer Says Oconee County Schools/School Board Do Not Have Application Letters For Rejected Superintendent Candidates

***Also Says Not Required To Release Documents If They Existed***

Steven Colquitt, Open Records Officer for Oconee County School and for the Oconee County Board of Education, said he cannot provide the application letters for the 18 persons not selected to be the new school superintendent because the “District” does not have them.

Even if the “District” did have the records, he added, he would not provide them because the law only requires that he release the application materials for three persons the Board considered to be finalists.
