OXFORD, Mich. – Two former Oxford school board members are expected to speak about the deadly high school shooting on Monday.
Former Oxford school board President Tom Donnelly and treasurer Korey Bailey both resigned from the school board in September of this year.
They met with victims’ families on Sunday. They have scheduled a news conference for 1 p.m. Monday and are expected to speak about the shooting.
“We’ve got teams who come in who are not directly related to the school district, they take over things like messaging, they take over loss prevention,” their attorney Bill Seikaly said.

The 16-year-old Oxford High School shooter pled guilty on Oct. 24 to two dozen felony charges, including murder and terrorism. Four students were killed and seven people were injured on Nov. 30, 2021.
Crumbley admitted to premeditated murder of the following four students who were killed in the mass shooting: 14-year-old Hana St. Juliana, 16-year-old Tate Myre, 17-year-old Madisyn Baldwin and 17-year-old Justin Shilling.
“We are aware of the allegations made by former Oxford Community School Board members during today’s press conference. Mr. Donnelly is correct in acknowledging that the District had appropriate safety policies in place since 2004. He also confirmed that multiple staff members received threat assessment training before the November 30 tragedy. Many of the former Board members’ allegations show a misunderstanding of the facts. The details regarding the training and use of threat assessment procedures in advance of the November 30 tragedy will be discussed at length by members of the staff who implemented the policies prior to November 30, 2021.A s in previous depositions, the District will fully disclose all relevant facts and procedures in the forthcoming legal proceedings.”
