Democrats Sponsoring Local March For Our Lives Rally

The Oconee County Democratic Committee is sponsoring a local March For Our Lives Rally from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on March 24 at Oconee Veterans Park.

The local event is part of a national day of demonstrations following the Feb. 14 school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla.

The centerpiece of the demonstrations, organized by students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas, is a March in Washington.

Students from Oconee County High School and North Oconee County High School are scheduled to speak at the Oconee County event.

The Oconee County Board of Education, at its 5 p.m. meeting tomorrow, is to get a report from Director of Student Services Dallas LeDuff on safety and security measures at Oconee County Schools.
