Election Update - What You’ll See on Your Ballot
As you prepare to vote in the August 4 election, please be aware that you'll see two separate school-related funding proposals on your ballot. While both would provide funding to Oxford Community Schools if approved, they are different proposals that serve different purposes.
Oxford Community Schools Non-Homestead Operating Millage
Does not increase taxes on primary residences
Supports day-to-day school operations
Restores the current operating millage to 18 mills on non-homestead property and renews for ten years
Operating millages have been part of Michigan’s school funding system since Proposal A in 1994.
Oakland Schools Enhancement Millage
Applies to all taxable property in Oakland County, including primary residences
Funding would be distributed countywide to public schools based on student enrollment.
Oxford Community Schools would receive more funding than taxpayers in our district boundaries would contribute.
These are two separate ballot questions, and voters may vote on each proposal independently.

OES Families,
We would love to invite you to attend our 5th Grade Capstone Event at Oxford Elementary School, Tomorrow, March 18th at 6pm! Our 5th Graders have been working hard and are excited to share their presentations with you!
Next month is Neurodiversity Acceptance Month, and we want to celebrate at OES! Because we have The Suite here at our school, we will be having a special focus on the Autism Spectrum. This month is not only about raising awareness about individuals on the autism spectrum but also about educating students about autism, inclusion, and acceptance of everyone.
There will be lots of fun activities for Neurodiversity Acceptance throughout April, some facts about autism shared every day, t-shirts that we will be wearing on Fridays (link to order shirts- orders taken until March 22nd), and the return of our coin wars, where the class that raises the most money gets a pizza party!
Dear OES Fifth Grade Families,
I hope you enjoyed the Oxford Middle School 6th Grade Parent Night presentation last night! This event is exciting as our students prepare for their next big chapter!
