For the first time since at least 1995, Oconee County Schools had a drop in enrollment, based on official school census data for October filed with the Georgia Department of Education.
The enrollment decline is at PK-5 and at the high school levels. Middle school enrollment actually increased last year to this.
The Oconee County Board of Elections and Registration met on Friday to certify the Nov. 5 election results, adding four voters to the final presidential tally, all four of whom voted for Democrat Kamala Harris.
The addition didn’t change the results, of course, with Republican Donald Trump getting a rounded 67.32 percent of the vote in the county, rather than 67.35 percent, and Harris getting 31.50 percent before and after the addition of the four votes.
