Memphis-Shelby County Schools (MSCS) is navigating a series of changes in leadership, leaving the future uncertain for students and staff. Ousted Superintendent Marie Feagins has vowed to take the school board to court, while Interim Superintendent Roderick Richmond prepares a 100-day plan for his tenure. The lack of clarity on how a permanent superintendent search will be conducted is adding to the uncertainty.
In a recent episode of “Behind The Headlines,” a reporter’s roundtable discussion explored the next steps in MSCS leadership changes. The panel included Laura Testino and Bill Dries from The Daily Memphian, and Toby Sells from The Memphis Flyer. They also discussed other topics such as the end of the special legislative session, which passed an expansion of the state school-voucher program and created a new immigration law enforcement unit within the Tennessee Department of Safety.
As MSCS continues to navigate this uncertain period, one thing is clear: the future of the district will be shaped by the decisions made in the coming weeks and months.
