Burning questions about the state's MSCS takeover

from The AM/DM · host The Daily Memphian

Last week, the Tennessee General Assembly approved a state takeover of Memphis-Shelby County Schools. The law allows the state to install an appointed board of nine members who then have control over the school system's superintendent, its budget and even its elected board.  Today, in part one of our discussion about the takeover, Laura Testino joins us to answer some of our burning questions, including whether former superintendent Marie Feagins is expected to get her job back.  Plus: A Big Ten transfer guard picks Memphis Belly Acres in Collierville is closing Experts say the Delta airline route pause to JFK is not a surprise The Works eyes a South Memphis site for affordable housing Collierville Schools wrestles with the budget, enrollment and bus-driver retention
