VILLA Parent Academy

VILLA (Volunteer Instructional Leadership Learning Academy)

VILLA Class of 2025

VILLA (Volunteer Instructional Leadership Learning Academy) provides parents an opportunity to learn more about public schools in their local communities! VILLA began as an initiative of the Georgia School Boards Association "to equip parent volunteers and community leaders to confidently navigate the school system." Oconee County Schools launched its VILLA Parent Academy in 2019. 

Two parent leaders from each of OCS' 12 schools are invited by school principals to participate in this annual experience. These 24 parents commit to a free, six-session experience. The interactive sessions cover the following topics:

• Overview of the School System
• Board Governance 
• Teaching and Learning
• Business Services
• Communications
• Human Resources
• Operations 
• Student Services

Thank you to all who have provided their time and support!
