WEATHER UPDATE from the public schools

A spokeswoman for Oconee public schools says, “We have been in contact with our Emergency Preparedness Department and continue to monitor the weather.  They believe that the worst weather will be here in the 6:00 – 7:00 pm range.  Their recommendation is that we stay at schools on our regular schedule as our schools are safer than a number of our students’ homes.  Buses should be able to complete their routes and return to schools before the bad weather hits our area.”
