The other state takeover

The state takeover of Memphis-Shelby County Schools has garnered a lot of attention over the past two years. But, due to a new state law this year, the state is also taking over a few other boards.

In the Bluff City, the change has largely been met with a shrug. But that's not the case in Nashville.  Today, we're joined by Steve Bohnel to talk about what this means for the airport moving forward and why locals in Memphis and Nashville may have reacted differently.  Plus: The city discusses how to spend $3.3M in tax money collected from SpaceXAI The future of the Grizzlies franchise came into picture at summer league Kiddie Academy in Arlington is expected to get a renovation and a new building CodeCrew receives $1M from Anthropic to build a national tech HQ in North Memphis The U of M Public Safety Institute spearheads a plan to address domestic violence Germantown steps up with a trail upgrade for runners, walkers and cyclists Tennessee partners with Youth Villages to provide support for families after a crisis
