Overshadowing school day one

Overshadowing the superintendent’s upbeat account of day one to start Oconee’s ’22-’23 year, emotions ran high during the county trustees’ meeting where Dr. Thorsland felt compelled to mount a defense of how the district handled threatening social media posts by Walhalla Middle students last year not long after the Texas school shootings.  District Two trustee Meghan Ketterman’s voice broke as she related concerns and her view on what took place—which prompted Thorsland’s retort.  Some of the key moments of last night’s key dialogue are being replayed today on 101.7/WGOG NEWS.
