Hi my name is Jeff Hovis, I am a retired Police Officer/School Resource Officer (SRO), i myself experienced a shooting in my school Feb 5th 2010 in Madison Al (Discovery Middle School). please take a moment to look at my site. I know since Sandy Hook you have been bombarded with ideas of school safety. I think i have a plan that will secure our schools 95% intruder free, no need to arm teachers of high tech equipment. My plan secures the front entrance and office/staff and restricts the movement of visitors/intruder with no where to go but out! It also seperates them from the student area and population without the prison feeling.
Other entrance doors can be secured also and my plan implements help from teachers/parents and students from high school, middle and even elementary kids (with adult supervision). Its not a childs fix but the same fix that a contractor would do but by utilizing volunteer rsources, thousands of $'s can be saved. I also have other ideas about lockdowns, classroom windows and using items already in the school as safety measures. With my plan, Alabama could be the a model state for having a Intruder Free School system. Thanks for your consideration, yours truely, Jeff Please visit us on Facebook Common Sense Solutions, like us and share.

There is a relatively new playscape at posypanko for town use. The one at Center School is fromRead More before QFS was built. The monkey bars are too small for the kids to even fit under. My point is if there is money to spend, and we want a playscape, how about fixing one that is used everyday.

why does it need to cost so much is what I wanna know... 138K...that's half of what I paid for myRead More house and land! Sounds like someones got 138K that's burning a hole in their pocket. Cant we find a less expensive playscape the kids would enjoy? or have it built by volunteers? maybe some of the very numerous contractors and builders living in Oxford would volunteer some time and skill to this project or better yet, some of these out of town builders who are throwing up McNeighborhoods in town would like to kick in some time and materiel for this? Heck If they wanna build here in town, they can start with a playscape..no?

How about lowering taxes for once. Or not making the people that were screwed by a croupt townRead More offical pay the debts that the town says they now owe. Why not run a surplus or add to rainy day fund. Why do we as the town of oxford need to spend it just because its there? Let's rethink this plan there are plenty of parks and we cn find a different way to fund this one. Or here's a novel idea let's get garbage pick up for the town.
