Oxford board sets onboarding timeline: community meeting, mentorship, MASB CBA 101 and administration meet-and-greet

During a facilitated workshop on Aug. 29, 2026, the Oxford Community Schools Board of Education agreed on a structured onboarding timeline for new board members. The minutes record a four-step sequence: within 30 days host a community/candidate information meeting; within 60 days assign a current board member to mentor a new member; within 90 days hold an MASB CBA 101 course for the full board including new members; and within 120 days schedule a meet-and-greet between the full board and district administration.

The minutes list Mr. Scott Morrell of the Michigan Association of School Boards as the workshop facilitator. The board also agreed to use the MASB Board Presidents Workshop during transition periods. The record does not show any formal vote or public comment on these items; the board adjourned at 12:14 p.m.
