This was taken from the June 14 Oxford School Board Meeting. By Jim Gibbons, Oxford Education Association President, parent, as a community member, and Oxford teacher. I want to talk about concerns I have with recent comments which have been made to the board during unscheduled audience participation. Specifically, some parents and community members have […]
Dear Editor, I have read of the well-deserved recognition given to the Oxford Fire Department and the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department for their quick response and handling of the shooting at the Oxford High School in December. It was a tragedy that I never thought would befall Oxford. But I have yet to see any […]
Dear Editor, May The Oxford Leader continue for as long as time goes on. It’s the voice of the Oxford Community, it tells the history of the community and the many residents who made it what it is today. It speaks for the people, their news, concerns, thoughts and memories. The good, honest reporters of […]
Dear Editor, It had been four months now since the Oxford High School shooting. Almost $2,000,000 has been raised by caring onlookers, for distribution to victims and their families. People harmed should always be our first concern. However, now is time to especially recognize the four who left us permanently as a result of this […]

I was watching golf on Saturday and my wife decided to share the information on what The Leader reported, which is good reporting and need to know if you desire, about what the alleged Oxford school shooter is […]
Dear Editor, I know Don Rush’s column on community newspapers was published in a Janurary edition, but I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU! I hope the Oxford Leader is active well into the future and I will always subscribe to it. May God continue to […]
Dear Editor, I dislike when a statement is prefaced with “I think we can all agree…” I am going to use it anyway. I think we can all agree that the majority of the donors to the accounts at Oxford Bank and Genisys Credit Union expect the majority of the funds to go to the […]
Dear Editor, As if we aren’t paying enough already in property taxes, the Michigan Senate under Republican leadership may soon be voting on SB-653, the “History Museum Authorities Act.” We already pay for the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Detroit Zoo. Now some legislators want to add another 0.4 mills to our property taxes […]
Dear Editor, I just wanted to take a moment to say “thank you!” Lyndi and Lily feel like a million bucks, having their photo in the newspaper (Feb. 9 edition). In this age of technology, social media, and the like, it’s refreshing and truly organic to receive a good old-fashioned newspaper. So thank you, again, […]
Dear Editor, Just wanted to give a HUGE shout out to the OXFORD FIRE DEPARTMENT, OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE, TIM HORTON’S AND DTE for their quick and compassionate response to my emergency on Sunday, January 30. Our Purdy Lane barn burned down in the early morning hours and two DTE line men going to work […]
