Oconee Schools And State
A parent on Saturday afternoon forwarded to me a copy of the email that Oconee County School Superintendent Jason Branch sent correcting the error in the calculation of percentages in the email message he sent to parents at the end of the day on Friday.
In the second email, at 8 p.m. on Friday, Branch wrote that “The earlier version of this email did not reach all faculty and staff and the percentages have been updated.”
