The big story for 2020 is of course the pandemic and how cities, schools and businesses adjusted to the crisis. Still, in looking back there were also other worthy headlines. The volunteers who selflessly made masks for front-liners, police raises and a successful passing of the first ever police millage in Memphis and the strong voice of a young college student from Richmond who wants to see training and curriculum related to diversity and racism introduced at Richmond Community Schools.

⢠RICHMOND SUPERINTENDENT COMPLAINTS RESOLVED: Seven administrators and two secretaries at Richmond Community Schools filed harassment complaints against Superintendent Brian Walmsley in October 2019, and in response, the school board directed its attorneys at Thrun Law Firm PC to conduct an investigation. In early January, the school board accepted the findings of the investigation, which found Walmsley did not violate the districtâs anti-harassment policy or federal law. Still, they laid out steps to be taken by and with the superintendent going forward. A formal resolution adopted by the school board stated that plans for effective communication, effective leadership and conflict resolution must be completed by Walmsley in the near future.
