Several residents discussed the issue with the school board Tuesday night.

About 50 people attended the Oxford school board meeting Tuesday night to discuss the board's decision to seek acceptance into the Naugatuck Valley League for Oxford sports next year.

Oxford Patch was there, and we took video of speakers. Check out some of their comments in our video above.

This article seems to be nothing more than an anonymous and free infomercial for Staples.…Read More "J" posted this same spam "article" on Patch sites in many towns, just changing the name of the town to match the Patch site. That seems to be the spirit of Staples, free-loading in every way they can. Even this "teacher program" has nothing to do with eliminating the need for teachers to spend their own money on school supplies --it is simply a way for that retailer to take advantage of the situation by attracting the lucrative teacher market. Staples should change their name to MADE IN CHINA OFFICE SUPPLIES, as virtually nothing they sell is manufactured in our country.
