OXFORD, Mich. — Two resigned Oxford, Michigan, school board members claim the district failed to implement its threat assessment playbook that they say could've prevented last year's mass shooting at Oxford High School.

"This board had been told over and over that the school had all the policies in place and that our team did everything right," former school board treasurer Korey Bailey said -- but he claims that's not true.

Donnelly said the protocol is to address a threat preemptively, and assumes that trained counselors, resource officers and other staffers collect"markers" to help stop an incident before it happens."Markers" include: changes in grades, changes in attendance, and students showing violent tendencies, Donnelly said.

Bailey said a report completed by Secure Education Consultants"praised our team" for developing and executing comprehensive security protocols. But Bailey said this report"was not based on a complete investigation -- it only focused on if we had the policies. It never touched on if we ever implemented or trained people to carry out these policies."

Bailey said, if the school"actually trained on threat assessment, the situation would've ended" there.
