OXFORD, Mich. — Parents of Oxford High School students and one survivor of the Nov. 30 mass shooting made emotional pleas Thursday for improved safety measures inside the school.
Two parents accused school officials of failing to create new policies and procedures to make their children feel safe and said they were also angry that Oxford Community Schools hasn't hired a company to perform a third-party review of the rampage that left four students dead and seven others wounded more than four months ago.
Lori Bourgeau, a parent of an Oxford High School student and organizer of the Parents of Oxford group, said a lack of action by the district and school board sends the message that school officials are more interested in protecting themselves than students.
