[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Narrowing the timeline to Monday and Tuesday is misleading. There was a "dark cloud" hanging over the school for weeks and months leading up to this. The district wrote letters about the "rumors", see: https://oxfordhigh.oxfordschools.org/parents___students/building_communications/november_12__concerns_and_rumors

[b]The district's administrative brass is a mile long list of six-figure salary highly credentialed "experts". [/b]Sorry, I'm not buying it that two uneducated low-life parents persuaded or successfully pushed back against the brass. The professionals failed the community, there is no other way to put it.

The superintendent was a deer in headlights at the very first press conference on Tuesday afternoon; he looked very "off". I suspected then he was fully aware he and his colleagues screwed up.[/quote]

This is a weird assertion, for a school district that has all of 5 ES, 2 MS, and 1 HS. I very much doubt they have a "mile long list of six-figure salary highly credentialed experts" and I don't know what benefit you derive from lying about that. [/quote]

In addition to the district, Oxford, having their own bureaucracy, there's also [b]Oakland (County) Intermediate School District (ISD) [/b]above it with a massive bureaucracy. Yes, we are talking about a mile long list of six-figure edu experts. Plus this is the wealthiest county in Michigan, so you have another mile long list of mental and juvenile health experts at the county health department.[/quote]

The ISD, like all ISDs in Michigan, serves totally different functions than the management of the district does (including but not limited to administering and staffing special education programs that are way beyond the scope of a 7,000-student district).

If you hate district-level bureaucracy and you aren't here arguing to abolish public schools (or are you?) you should like the ISD and want it to expand--it's what could replace district-level management.[/quote]
