OXFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (CBS Detroit) — The superintendent of Oxford Community Schools says administrators have a plan to reopen following the deadly shooting last week at Oxford High School.
Four students were killed and six others, as well as a teacher, were injured in the shooting on Nov. 30. The suspect, identified as 15-year-old Ethan Crumbley, has been charged as an adult. His parents are also facing charges of involuntary manslaughter. The teen was a student at the high school.

“The Number One Goal of our plan is supporting the emotional health and well-being of our students by getting them back into a routine and offering an opportunity for them to be together, interact with their fellow students and school staff, share experiences, grieve, and continue their educational journeys,” read the letter.
In terms of the high school, Thorne says it will be “quite sometime before the high school is ready to serve as an educational setting again.”
He says the plan for the school is still evolving and the district will inform the community once a plan has solidified.
“In the meantime, we are working to create opportunities for the students to be together in our community. We will share that information once it is final,” Thorne says in the letter.
