September 2, Safety Notification Clarification

Dear Daniel Axford Parents,

We have heard concern over last night’s Safety Notification message and want to better clarify the details.  The “artifact” found from the Oxford Village Police Department’s training by Homeland Security at Daniel Axford in early August was the casing of a “blank” from a training device. Live ammunition was never used nor discharged during the training.  At no time was any child in any danger with this casing being present in a classroom. Again, although extensive cleaning did occur after the training last month this blank casing was not found until Friday.

Using a school building within the Village of Oxford was necessary for the best and most thorough training for our local officers. It is vital we partner with our Oxford Village Police Department so they may best be prepared for any type of future situation. We are thankful for their service and the protection they provide to our community. 

 

Sincerely,
Ken Weaver
Superintendent
