Two eLearning days prior to mid-year break

The Oconee County public school days of Monday and Tuesday, December 21 and 22 have been re-scheduled as eLearning days.  The school district this afternoon gave the following explanation:  “Factors leading to this decision included difficulty in finding substitutes to cover both COVID-19 related absences and normal requests for leave on those two days, along with conflicts with some events that were scheduled prior to the two-week delay in starting the school year.”  Students are to stay away from their school buildings on those two days–the 21st and 22nd.
