Oconee schools increase security

The following statement this morning from Oconee public schools:

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims and the entire community of Uvalde, Texas.  To offer extra assurance to our elementary school students and families for the final few days of school, we have increased officers available to our schools.  If a school is holding an off-campus program, a school resource officer will be present at the event while an additional officer will remain at school.  This is not in response to any information about a threat to our schools; it is to provide an extra measure of safety, support and reassurance for our students, staff, families and community.”
