Parents and students called for greater safety measures and transparency at the Michigan high school where four students were fatally shot in a mass shooting last year.
Nearly five months after the massacre at Oxford High School, a group of concerned parents and students said that those who attend the suburban Detroit school still do not feel safe.
"Our children tell us they do not feel safe at school," Lori Bourgeau, a parent of an Oxford student, said Thursday during a press briefing organized by the group Change 4 Oxford. "They don't feel safe using the restroom, they don't feel safe eating in the lunchroom."
The group is calling for an immediate independent expert review of Oxford's student safety procedures, with an updated school safety plan based on the review implemented prior to the start of the 2022-2023 school year. It is also calling for greater transparency into the school's safety plan and to include students and teachers in the process.
