So far, public schools on regular schedule tomorrow

By 1:30 this afternoon, Oconee School District’s plan is to operate the public schools on normal schedule tomorrow.  But the district has issued this following statement, considering there’s a possibility of tornadoes during the day tomorrow:  “We will continue to monitor weather developments and communicate any change in that plan as soon as the decision is made.  Please be aware that with the possibility of bad weather, buses could be delayed picking up or dropping off students on Thursday.  We are keenly aware of the trauma to many students, staff members and the community with the devastating tornado that went through Seneca last April.  For the majority of our students, if any family feels that sending their student to school is not the best choice for their family, absences will be excused with a note submitted to the school upon return.”  101.7/WGOG is one of the outlets on which announcement of any change to the school plan is decided.
