The opening of Oxford Elementary School has been delayed. Originally slated to open in August 2026, Oxford will not be ready for occupancy in time. In an effort to prevent difficult mid-year disruptions for young students and families coming from multiple schools to attend Oxford, we have pushed the opening of our new elementary school to August 2027.
Despite the concerted efforts of architects and the construction team working on the school, significant rainy weather in the fall, compounded by extreme, unprecedented cold temperatures and multiple weeks of snow and ice, contributed to this delay. Unexpected site conditions that required mitigation early in the construction process prevented all parts of the facility from being under roof prior to winter weather.
We are disappointed that Oxford will not open as originally planned but feel confident that the added time will be well worth it when the beautiful new facility welcomes students in August 2027. In the meantime, we will pause the effective date of our redistricting plan.
Any student from Creekside, Eastern, Northern, or Scott County Middle School that would have been redistricted effective in August 2026 will remain at their current school for the 2026-2027 school year.
