Three-way trustee race created

A three-way race has been created for one of the available trustee seats in this year’s election to fill Oconee school board seats.  A district spokeswoman says Sammy Grant, a former transportation director for the district and now an employee of Clemson Area Transit, has qualified to contest for Seat #5.  Already running for that seat are the incumbent, Buddy Herring, and a second challenger, Earnestine Williams.  The qualifying period for seats 2,4, and 5 expires late next week.
