Memphis Schools Get New Oversight Board

Memphis-Shelby County Schools just got a major upgrade with the final appointment to their new oversight board: Karen Vogelsang, a respected educator and 2015 Tennessee Teacher of the Year. This powerful board, composed of appointees from the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Speaker of the House—including legal, business, and former school leaders—now holds serious authority over the district’s budget and contracts. Set to launch July 1 and serving until 2030, the board is designed to drive real change by bringing in bold, decisive leaders unafraid to tackle tough issues—regardless of politics. A pivotal moment for Memphis education. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
