OXFORD â The city of Oxford has begun its search for a new police chief with Alvin Coley set to retire from the position on Aug. 1.
Coley has enjoyed building relationships with Oxfordâs residents and leaders since taking over the police chief position in 2013 but he said that he is ready to start a new chapter in his life following a distinguished career in law enforcement.
âIâve spent 34 years and 10 months in law enforcement, so itâs just time,â Coley said. âI want to spend some time with my family. After doing this for so long, I need to venture down some other avenues and kick back and relax a little bit.â
OXFORD â Granville Countyâs school board has agreed to a timeline that could have members making decisions by the end of June about closing more of the districtâs schools because of system-wide enrollment declines.
Presented by board Chairman David Richardson, the timeline envisions the board beginning its debate on the issue on May 3, with members outlining any ideas or principles they think should govern the process.
By the end, the board and administration should have settled on a list of closure studies, and drafts of them should be ready in time for another meeting on May 17. Board members would be able to ask for revisions or additions on June 7, ahead of a forum on June 14 to gather public comment.
