Legal Freeze Halts School Board Takeover | Memphis News

The Memphis-Shelby County Schools oversight board’s first meeting is on hold after a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order, halting the state’s intervention while legal questions about the law’s constitutionality are reviewed. State Rep. Mark White confirmed board members will be paid from the district’s budget—$25K–$30K annually, matching current elected board salaries. Meanwhile, the elected board remains focused on improving student outcomes, analyzing TCAP data that hints at small gains, and pushing forward despite the legal pause, determined to collaborate with the state for student success.
