Thorsland gets glowing review

Oconee school trustees approve of the job turned in by Dr. Michael Thorsland, the first-year superintendent. After a closed door meeting last night, the trustees awarded Thorsland a 2% pay raise and extended his contract by another year. When hired last year, Thorsland got a three-year deal and an annual salary of $135 thousand. Trustees’ Chairman Andy Inabinet said that in all nine categories in which Thorsland was evaluated, he was judged either proficient or exemplary. Inabinet said all five trustees agreed.
