What oxford usd 358 does

Oxford USD 358 is a public K-12 unified school district operating under the Kansas State Department of Education in Sumner County, Kansas. The district delivers free, state-funded public education to resident students from the Oxford, Kansas area through three owned channels: Oxford Elementary School (grades PreK-5), Oxford Jr./Sr. High School (grades 6-12), and Oxford Online Virtual School, which provides full-time remote instruction while preserving sports eligibility. The district supplements classroom instruction with career and technical education programs (culinary arts, industrial technology, automotive, welding, woodworking, agricultural education), extracurricular activities (FFA, athletics, music, forensics, drama), and dual-credit college coursework delivered in partnership with Cowley College and Allen County Community College.

The district's technology layer is built entirely on third-party education platforms: PowerSchool for student information and grades, Clever for single sign-on across educational apps, Thrillshare for parent communications and the live feed, Apptegy for the district website and mobile apps, Frontline Education for staff professional development and substitute management, My School Menus and My School Bucks for food service, and Google Mail for internal communication. There is no proprietary technology product. The district is accredited under the Kansas Kansans Can School Redesign (KESA) framework and recognized by the Kansas Board of Regents as an All-Star High School for the second consecutive year in 2026.

As a government entity, Oxford USD 358 is funded through Kansas state education aid, local property taxes, and federal education grants; it charges no tuition to families and operates under an elected Board of Education led by Superintendent Ashley Bugbee, with school-level principals Christina Dunham (Elementary) and Teresa Commerford (Jr./Sr. High and Virtual). The district does not generate revenue in the commercial sense and is not an investable equity target; its strategic posture is best assessed as that of a stable, small rural public institution incrementally expanding its reach via virtual schooling and nonresident open enrollment.

Direct peers

• Conway Springs USD 356: Conway Springs USD 356 is another small public K-12 district in Sumner County, Kansas. Its size, rural setting, and county-level funding dynamics make it a near-direct comparator to Oxford USD 358 for enrollment and staffing patterns.
• Argonia USD 359: Argonia USD 359 is a small Sumner County, Kansas public K-12 district with a comparable enrollment scale. It is highly relevant as a like-for-like comparator for very small rural Kansas districts facing similar funding and demographic dynamics.
