On April 12/13, an alarmist email regarding guns in Oconee county was sent from a woman in Columbia and forwarded by a local person to educators in Oconee. This was not written nor forwarded nor condoned by the OCDP. It contained many falsehoods.
OCDP does not support arming teachers in Oconee but we do support Sheriff Crenshaw's position that his "#1 priority is to continue to trying to move toward getting an SRO (school resource officer) in every school in Oconee."
There have been several public meetings, School Board, County Council where the Sheriff and school and civic officials are discussing ideas to keep students safe. The next School District meeting is Monday, April 16th, 6 pm, 415 S. Pine St. Walhalla.
