DETROIT — For the first time since the Nov . 30, 2021 school shooting, an outsider will take the helm of Oxford Community Schools as it navigates its three-year recovery plan and defends itself against multiple civil lawsuits stemming from the attack.
Oxford Community Schools hired Vickie L. Markavitch, who will become the interim superintendent for less than six months as it works to rebuild trust in the community and implement a recovery plan with beefed up security after a 2021 shooting killed four students.
The former superintendent of the Oakland Schools intermediate district from 2004 to 2015, Markavitch was hired Tuesday by the board of education at its regular meeting. She starts Jan. 9.
