Press Room
The Oxford School District welcomes members of the media into our schools and strives to provide the most accurate and timely information available.
School Interviews and Visits
Please contact the Communications Office at (662) 234-3541 if you’d like to interview Oxford educators and administrators. We are happy to put you in touch with the correct person and/or resource for your story and can arrange an interview time. We do have a Board policy in place that addresses Media Access to School Campuses, Staff and Students, so please be sure to familiarize yourself with our policy and let us know if you have any questions.
School Visits
If you would like to visit a school, please contact the Communications office. Again, our Board policy regarding Media Access to School Campuses, Staff and Students covers this topic in detail. We will be happy to escort you to any school for the interview or story. We will work with your schedule, as well as that of the students and staff, to ensure that your visit is successful. Please offer a few available dates for your visit in case a school has a conflict on a particular day.
Photographing Students and Staff
Some students choose not to be photographed. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) allows students and parents to opt out of the release of certain information about students, including photographs, and the Oxford School District operates in compliance with this law. Before we can allow anyone to take photos, video and/or quotes from our students, a building administrator or the Communications office must verify that these individuals have the proper release information on file.
BoardDocs
You can stay current with the latest information about the Oxford School District Board of Education with the School Board website, where you can view agenda items and board meeting activities.
