DETROIT — Oxford Community Schools officials, acting sooner than it had declared it would, on Tuesday approved hiring a consulting company to investigate and review the Nov. 30 shooting at Oxford High School.
The board hired Guidepost Solutions, an investigations, regulatory compliance, monitoring and security consulting firm. The firm will perform an investigation and full review of what happened at the high school the day of the shooting and in the days leading up to the deadly attack. It also hired a new law firm, Varnum Attorneys at Law in Grand Rapids, to represent the district in investigations, reviews and litigation connected to the shooting.
Board President Tom Donnelly said the board has been committed to a thorough review of the shooting since its statement in December that it would launch a third-party investigation.
