OXFORD – Residents of the Oxford Academy school district will have another opportunity to have their questions answered about three proposed capital project options being explored by the district’s administration and board of education.

A public information meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday in the Middle School Auditorium to update residents on the proposed building project. The meeting will begin with a tour of the historic structure, followed by a presentation on the three options by Superintendent Randy Squier. The evening will conclude with a question and answer session.

The meeting is the second to be held on the subject of the capital project proposals. The first, held in December, was not well attended. The district has been promoting Thursday’s meeting in earnest to encourage a larger turnout.

Squier and the school board have come under fire from taxpayers who have questioned the need for an extensive capital project in light of the historic nature of the Middle School, the economic climate and the district’s declining enrollment. Oxford’s current student population is the lowest in 50 years, and is projected to continue its downward trend over the next five years.
