For Dr. Otho Tucker and his staff, LakeOconeeAcademy's first year has been a good experience. In fact, he's had more cooperation from GreeneCountySchool District officials, with whom he regularly collaborates for funding and testing, than in most other places he's been, Tucker said. "I came in with the idea that we were going to educate kids, and they took the same approach," he said. "We've had one goal: to educate GreeneCounty kids and educate them well."
