Enough is enough! We have seen too many schools attacked and too many children dying at the hands of armed attackers. Most school shootings occur in communities similar to ours, and no one can guarantee that it will not happen here. A group of Oconee County citizens is requesting that the Board of Education place armed officers at every public school campus in the county for the entire school day. These officers will be on site to protect staff and students, with the goal of preventing attacks from occurring. The details of what type of officer (e.g., deputy vs SRO) have not been discussed, nor who will pay for this (BOE vs Sheriff’s Office.) At this time, we are trying to prove to the Board that a large percentage of citizens support this. Please sign if you are in support of this initiative and would like to see the community and the Board of Education work together to protect our children. This petition is open to ALL citizens of Oconee County!

Thank you so much for your support!!
