Show of support planned for mask mandate

A group called “Local Advocates in Support of Mask Mandate in Oconee County, South Carolina Schools” plans a one-half hour demonstration this afternoon to support a trustees’ vote to impose the mandate for the purpose of keeping students, teachers and the community safe.  The demonstration is planned at 4:30 today in front of the district offices.  At 5 the trustees are to consider masking up, as the only item of business on their special meeting agenda.
