Oxford parents gather for first school board meeting since judge issued district employees governmental immunity

Oxford families gathered at a school board meeting Tuesday, the first since a judge granted the district immunity amid the November 30 Oxford High School shooting. One of the deceased victim's fathers, Buck Myre, was present during the meeting and demanded accountability. “I can’t believe that you guys can put your head on the pillow every night and think you’ve done everything to get accountability,” he said. His son Tate was one of 4 students killed inside Oxford High in November of 2021. Myre and several others shared their frustration in wake of a judge’s ruling earlier this month to clear the district staff and administrators of any lawsuits stemming from the shooting. This also applies to civil lawsuits the judge ruled, stating the district and its employees are protected by government immunity. “I'm completely outraged by the immunity that the school has been given. And I’m really happy it will be appealed," a parent said.
