Whistleblowers: Oxford school district hiding the truth about mass shooting
(
Detroit Free Press) Saying they can't keep quiet anymore, two former Oxford school board members plan to make public information that they allege shows the district is lying to victims' families and the public about its role in the mass shooting that left four students dead and seven others injured.
Specifically, the whistleblowers allege that Oxford school officials have led the community to believe that they did everything right but a bad thing still happened, when the facts show that the officials could have prevented the tragedy.
Those facts, the former board members maintain, have been withheld from the public. And they can't keep quiet anymore, they say, stressing they want to share information that they previously were told they could not disclose.
'They failed to take action to prevent it'
The whistleblowers are former school board President Tom Donnelly and Treasurer Korey Bailey both of whom recently resigned out of frustration over the district's handling of the shooting investigation.
