Oxford board hears bullying-survey presentation as a string of residents raise concerns
Summary
Assistant Superintendent Qonja-Collins presented a recently distributed bullying survey; multiple scheduled and unscheduled public commenters raised concerns about the survey during the April 22 meeting. The board did not take a formal vote on the survey that night.
Assistant Superintendent Qonja-Collins presented information about a recently distributed bullying survey and explained its content and how it was shared with the district community.
The presentation was followed by scheduled public comment from Raymond Blake on the bullying survey and an extended unscheduled public-comment period in which at least ten residents spoke. Speakers included Barbi Johnston, Evelyn Archer, Ronald Piotrowski, Levi Johnstone, Phil O'Halloran, Debbie Ross, Emily Bush, Patricia Jewell and one speaker who identified only as Karen; Danielle Wernis spoke separately about the district bond.
Commenters repeatedly expressed concerns about the bullying survey’s content and distribution and urged the board to address those concerns. The transcript lists the participants and topics but does not record verbatim statements or a board decision to change the survey in this meeting.
The board received the comments and no formal action on the bullying survey was recorded that evening. The record shows the meeting recessed at 9:45 p.m., returned at 9:50 p.m., and continued to public comment before later moving to other agenda items.
