“There is no more important challenge anyone can take on than to serve our community to ensure that our students have the best education possible.”
- Dr. Perry Lee
Priorities
Dr. Lee stated that he has two top priorities as a Board of Education member. One is the relationship between Lake Oconee Academy and the Greene County School System. When speaking about this priority Dr. Lee remarked, “I want to make sure that there is greater collaboration between Lake Oconee Academy and the Greene County School System. When we work together sharing best practices, we can greatly improve the results for every child in Greene County.”
Dr. Lee’s other top priority is raising test scores throughout the system. According to Dr. Lee, the Greene County School System results show there is still much work to be done. We must continue to strive to find answers to how to best help students reach their potential and increase their opportunity for success. Where new initiatives are being implemented, the results are progressively positive. The focus must continue to be on literacy, staff retention, support, and development, helping at-risk students, and individualized instruction.
"I truly believe that our energy, our time, and our resources as a community are well-spent if we are striving every day to achieve excellence in education in every school and for every student."
