Bond sale approved by county trustees

The Oconee board of school trustees gave the finance director the authority to proceed with the sale of a $15.7 million dollar taxpayer-backed bond issue to generate the funds needed to complete the new career center building on highway 11. In answer to a question by board chairman Jerry Lee, finance director Gloria Moore says it’s too early to know the interest rate on which the payments the district will incur to pay off the issue.
