Exploration courses ensure that students take courses in a variety of fields, across the liberal arts curriculum. These courses are the foundation of the general education experience, giving students experience in a variety of academic areas at the outset of their studies at Emory, and introducing them to different intellectual approaches, tools, and evidence. Students must complete:
Communication-intensive courses are designed to improve communication skills through frequent writing, speaking, listening, and designing across academic and non-academic situations. Teachers across discourse communities encourage, guide, and communicate high standards to students through instruction and example. Communication-intensive classes focus on both the product and the process of developing appropriate and effective communication skills. Learning to be an ethical communicator is a focus of the courses, and instruction (materials, assignments, feedback) is designed to foster this growth in students. Students must complete:

Hybrid teaching is an educational model in which some students attend a lecture or seminar in-person as normal, while others join virtually from home. Lecturers therefore teach remote and in-person students at the same time using tools like Teams or Zoom, alongside the full range of digital tools at Oxford. As a variation, lecturers may also work remotely to deliver sessions to students in a classroom and online.
There are numerous variations in hybrid delivery, usually around the amount of equipment in play. These resources aim to explain these variations, highlight benefits and challenges and provide an informed guide to making choices and selecting tools to use in hybrid teaching.
However, the University does recognise there are occasions when you may consider adopting hybrid teaching in response to specific issues. For example, providing students with ongoing access to teaching and learning that would otherwise be disrupted due to restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly where they are unable to travel to the UK.
This Employee Handbook is a presentation of present policies only, which may be modified by the Oxford School District at any time without the consent of any employee. This Handbook is not a contract and does not create a contract between the Oxford School District and any employee, nor does it provide any substantive rights for any employee.
Other than certified employees with contracts of employment with the Oxford School District, all other employees of the School District are employees-at-will. Nothing in this Handbook changes the at-will status of any employee.

Pursuant to Mississippi Code Annotated 37-9-17 and the School Board, a background check of all employees is required. Employees must give permission to be fingerprinted and allow a background screening check with law enforcement, the Child Abuse Registry, previous employers, and any other persons to determine their suitability in working with children.

The District recognizes advances in technology and the impact that these new pieces of equipment can have on education; however, they also recognize that inappropriate use of personal cellular phones, pagers, and other electronic devices during instructional time can often disrupt student learning. Staff members need to be mindful of the appropriate ways to incorporate these new technologies into the educational setting and also use them with integrity and professionalism outside of the school day. Therefore, the following guidelines are being instituted to remind employees to use these devices in a professional manner.
Any public or private school employee or any other person having reasonable cause to suspect that a child is a neglected or abused child shall make a report immediately to the principal of the school. The principal will immediately telephone the Department of Human Services and follow as soon thereafter with a written report.
The Board believes it is most important to settle all complaints of discrimination based on sex, disability or other differences that may arise among employees, between employees and administrators, and between the public and teachers as promptly and equitably as possible. Resolution of problems should take place at the lowest possible administrative level and in a manner which will assure employees that review of complaints and grievances will be handled without fear of reprisals.
The Superintendent, consistent with State Law, shall have the authority to suspend or remove a licensed staff member of the Oxford School District for incompetence, neglect of duty, immoral conduct, intemperance, brutal treatment of a pupil, or other good cause. Before being so removed or suspended, the staff member shall receive written notification of charges and entitlement to a public hearing upon said charges. The Board of Trustees, upon request for a hearing by the person so suspended or removed, shall set a date, time and place for such hearing, which shall not be sooner than five (5) days nor later than thirty (30) days from the date of the request. The procedure for such hearings shall be prescribed for hearing by the Board of Trustees or Hearing Officer in 37-9-111 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 Annotated. From the decision made at said hearing, the staff member shall be allowed an appeal to the Chancery Court in the same manner as appeals are authorized in 37-9-113 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 Annotated. Any party disagreeing by the action of the Chancery Court may appeal to the Mississippi Supreme Court as provided by law. (Board Policy: GBN)
Oxford School District employees serve as role models for the students and as representatives of Oxford Schools. Consistent with these roles, all employees, volunteers and substitutes shall dress professionally and appropriately.
Teachers, volunteers, and support personnel (paraprofessionals) are expected to project a professional image that sets positive dress and grooming examples for students and shall adhere to standards of dress and appearance that are compatible with an effective learning environment.
School-based personnel shall follow this guidance on all days students are in attendance. Principals may determine the appropriate dress to be worn on workdays when students are not in attendance. All other personnel shall follow the policy on all work days unless directed differently by their supervisor.
Physical Education teachers, coaches and athletic volunteers should wear the appropriate athletic attire necessary to meet the requirements of their job responsibilities and a sweat or warm-up suit when not actively teaching physical education classes or coaching.
All employees are expected to dress in a professional manner. Clothing must be neat, clean, in good repair, and appropriate for on-the-job appearances at all times. Employees shall not wear on the outside of their clothing any jewelry or similar artifacts that are obscene, distracting, or may cause disruptions to the educational environment.
By enacting this dress code policy, the Oxford School District recognizes that there are occasions when individuals may need to wear specific clothing due to medical reasons. When such is the case, the employee must provide the proper medical documentation that gives rise to the need for deviation from this dress code policy.
