Calling attention to a public information meeting
Dr. Michael Thorsland, the Oconee superintendent of education, calls attention to a public meeting this week being arranged by an organization interested in the Seneca Middle School building when it becomes available after the school year. The Dream Center, an Easley faith-based non-profit, invites everyone for an information meeting 6:30 to 8 o’clock Thursday night in the Seneca Middle School gym. The Oconee board of trustees will decide what becomes of the school and complex on WS 4th Street extension. It appears it’s going to come down to the Dream Center and the city of Seneca, which has its eyes on the property for recreation expansion. If you go Thursday night, don’t look for Oconee’s five school trustees. They won’t be there. Thorsland announced last night that the trustees. By coincidence only, the trustees are scheduled to be out of town starting Thursday for school trustee training. Yet, in a matter of a couple of months, according to Thorsland, the board will decide the disposition of the school, which is to be replaced by a new school nearby on the Wells Highway.
