Hazel Park Schools in Turmoil | Detroit News

Description

Hazel Park Schools shocks the community by placing longtime Superintendent Amy Wilcox on leave—her second suspension in two years—and appointing Griff Mills, a former superintendent with no disclosed qualifications, as interim leader. The vote, 4-2, sparked outrage as two board members called the moves “insane” and “literally criminal,” citing a lack of transparency—so much so that one board member had to Google Mills’ name. Despite the board president’s defense of Mills’ 30 years of experience, no recommendation source was revealed, raising legal concerns and fueling accusations of policy violations. The turmoil stems from unresolved issues around IEP services at the middle school, despite Wilcox’s claims of taking corrective action.
