Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Oxford Community Schools. We found 7 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
New Student Code of Conduct Based on ‘Equity’
The proposed 2026-2027 Student Code of Conduct is built on an “equity” framework, stating that discipline is “disproportionally applied to students of color.” It uses vague, subjective definitions for harassment and bullying based on “emotional distress” that could be used to punish students for expressing views that dissent from progressive ideology on topics like gender.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND FAIRNESS AND CLARITY: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website). ‘The proposed Code of Conduct (Item 6.D) prioritizes ideology over safety and order. Discipline should be based on clear, objective standards of behavior, not on a student’s race or identity group. Vote NO.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Unequal Discipline Standards

District to Appoint Delegate to State Lobbying Group
The board will appoint a delegate to the Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB) Delegate Assembly. MASB is a taxpayer-funded lobbying organization that often advocates for policies at the state level that undermine local control and parental rights.
Recommended Action Plan
KEEP LOBBYISTS OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website). ‘Before appointing a delegate to MASB (Item 6.E), the Board must hold a public discussion on MASB’s legislative platform. We demand to know what policies our district will be supporting with our tax dollars.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

District Hires More School Social Workers
The HR report, approved in the consent agenda, includes hiring two new School Social Workers. Their resumes are filled with references to “SEL instruction,” “trauma-informed support,” and “Tier-3 interventions,” indicating a deeper push of the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) model into schools.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website). ‘Regarding the new social worker hires, what specific SEL curriculum will they use? Parents must have the right to review all materials and opt their children out of any psychological screening or instruction.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: School-Based Therapy

Parents Must Get Approval to Speak at Meetings
The public comment policy requires parents to register the day before and get approval from the Superintendent and Board President just to speak on an agenda item. This gives administrators the power to filter public comment and discourages parents from speaking up on important issues.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND YOUR RIGHT TO BE HEARD: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website). ‘Item 3, your public comment policy, creates unnecessary barriers for parents. We demand you remove the pre-registration and approval requirement and allow open comment on agenda items at the start of the meeting.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Right to Speak

‘Portrait of a Graduate’ Program Moves Forward
The July 28 meeting minutes, approved in the consent agenda, confirm the district is moving forward with a “Portrait of a Graduate” (PoG) program. These programs often replace core academic goals with subjective social-emotional traits like “global citizenship” or “equity.”
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACADEMIC FOCUS: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website). ‘Regarding the “Portrait of a Graduate” program mentioned in the July 28 minutes, what specific, measurable academic standards are being replaced by subjective social-emotional competencies? Parents want a focus on math and reading, not social engineering.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Academics Replaced by Activism

New App May Monitor Parent-Teacher Communication
The district is rolling out a new communication platform called “Rooms” which will replace apps like Remind. The presentation highlights “District moderation and safety features,” which could allow administrators to monitor private communications between parents and teachers.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Email the Board of Education (contact info on district website). ‘Regarding the new “Rooms” app, what is the district’s policy on monitoring parent-teacher messages? Who has access to these conversations, and for what purpose? We demand a clear policy protecting parent privacy.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Private Conversations

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The agenda lists two field trips, “OHS Disney Imagination” and “OMS Chicago,” but the attached documents could not be read. The titles are vague and do not specify the educational purpose or itinerary for these out-of-state trips.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached to Item 6.C in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the educational purpose and itinerary of these trips. Parents should know what is being taught on out-of-state trips.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
