Oconee’s top educator to be evaluated Monday
School’s out for summer. That does not apply to Oconee school trustees. On Monday they will have a full day. It’ll start in the afternoon with a tour of the new middle school construction work in Seneca, followed by a planning session/board retreat. At night, the five trustees are to reconvene for their June meetings. The agenda includes final reading of the proposed $100 million-plus budget for the 2023-24 year. Behind closed doors Monday night the trustees are to conduct their annual evaluation of Superintendent Dr. Michael Thorsland. After last year’s evaluation, the board gave Thorsland a two-year contraction extension, “along with a raise equivalent to other district employees.”
