Oxford School Board chooses new interim superintendent

Oxford School District's school board is choosing to move forward with a new interim superintendent with no connection to the district.      On Tuesday night, the board approved Vickie Markavitch to replace former superintendent Ken Weaver as the new interim superintendent. Weaver announced his retirement late last month. He replaced Tim Throne who was superintendent at the time of the shooting. Markavitch is the former superintendent of Oakland Schools and is already walking into a tough gig as the board tries to navigate civil lawsuits and mend the community. The community has already expressed mixed feelings about the board's decision.
