"Detroit’s new schools chief is known in his former district as a reformer who produces quick results while at times upsetting those swept up in the changes.
Nikolai Vitti, 40, took over as superintendent Tuesday after his contract was approved earlier this month by the Detroit Public Schools Community District. Officials selected him to replace former Interim Superintendent Alycia Meriweather, who is serving as a senior adviser until her contract expires June 30.
Vitti previously spent more than four years as superintendent of Duval County Public Schools in Jacksonville, Florida. The district serves more than 128,000, has 198 schools and ranks as the 20th largest school district in the country. His new district is the largest in the state of Michigan and serves 48,000 students."
