DETROIT — A second school board member from Oxford has resigned in less than a week, prompting questions by parents about why two elected officials would leave at the start of the school year as the district works to recover from the Nov. 30, 2021, high school shooting.
Korey Bailey, the board's treasurer, announced his resignation on Monday from the Oxford Community Schools board of education, effective immediately. Tom Donnelly, the board president, resigned last week.
On Tuesday, Bailey told The Detroit News he was not happy with the direction the board was going during a closed session at its Sept. 9 special meeting to discuss pending litigation about the shooting that killed four students and wounded six students and a teacher. The district is facing multiple federal and state civil suits from victims and survivors of the attack inside Oxford High School.
