Dear Oxford Schools Community,
This evening, we were made aware of an OK2Say tip about a gun being brought into Oxford Middle School tomorrow (Friday).
The School Resource Officer completed a weapons check and both the SRO and the building principal visited the home of the student allegedly involved. Through their investigation the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department has deemed the threat unfounded as there was no intent nor ability to carry it out.
As a reminder, we have numerous safety layers in place such as a weapons detection system, an armed security force, weapons detection dog and visitor management system that continue to safeguard the school.
Safety is a top priority. We appreciate the quick reporting and continue to encourage our school community to report school safety concerns in a timely manner to law enforcement and school administration.
Parents, please talk to your students and remind them that their words and actions matter and any student who speaks or acts inappropriately will face disciplinary consequences. If you have questions, concerns or have related information please contact your building principal.
Sincerely,
Dr. Vickie Markavitch
Superintendent, Oxford Community Schools
