The Student Blueprint opened its doors at 318 Snow Street, Suite E, on Thursday, November 12, 2026, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony provided by Historic Main Street Oxford.

The Student Blueprint provides tailored, evidence-based support for students at every school stage. Through comprehensive evaluations — standardized tests, curriculum measures, and parent/teacher interviews — strengths, needs, and effective strategies are identified.

Owner/Executive Director Marilyn Burke holds a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Special Education (with honors) from The University of South Alabama, as well as two masters degrees with honors from Jacksonville State University — one in Early Childhood Special Education and another in Instructional Leadership.

“We do educational evaluations, and then could provide intervention if needed,” Burke said. “Any place which sees a need for a student evaluation can refer them to us. We then work through those with the parents, see what their concerns are, and how we can help. We give recommendations based upon what we find in the testing.”

Cassidy Whitman serves as director of testing and evaluations. Whitman has a Master of Science in School Psychometry from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Elementary Education from Jacksonville State University, and an Associate of Science from Southern Union State Community College.

The Student Blueprint offers comprehensive evaluations, dyslexia evaluations, autism evaluations, and developmental and academic assessments.

“We are happy to have you here,” said Mayor Alton Craft. “Thank you for coming to Oxford, and if we can ever be of any help we are only a phone call away.”
