Parent urges district to address repeated fights at Oakdale Junior High
Summary
A public commenter, Michael Nestle, told trustees he has seen multiple videos of fights at Oakdale Junior High and urged the district and parents to take proactive steps after describing incidents occurring near the gym and car-drop areas.
During public comment, Michael Nestle told trustees he had seen "the fifth or sixth video of a fight at Oakdale Junior High" around the December break and expressed alarm that fights sometimes continued without staff or parents intervening.
Nestle described the incidents as "excessive," saying the most recent video showed a confrontation "right in front of the gym where cars pull in," and asked whether the superintendent's office had been made aware and what steps were being taken to prevent more serious injuries. "It feels like we need to be a little more proactive to stop this from happening before we have like a serious situation," he said.
Trustees indicated the commenter could follow up with the superintendent after the meeting; the transcript records a suggestion to connect Nestle with Superintendent Mosa for further discussion. No formal board action on the issue was recorded during the meeting.
