The Memphis-Shelby County School board is working to reset its superintendent search, but divisions among board members and public distrust could turn off top prospects.
Memphis-Shelby County Schools board members signaled that they favored reopening their search for a new superintendent to consider more candidates under revised criteria.
“It doesn’t just affect the inner city, these kids are going all over the city, the suburbs, everywhere, taking people’s lives for nothing,” said Carpenter.
The Memphis-Shelby County School board plans to meet on Friday to discuss a new timeline for its superintendent search amid sharp divisions over how to proceed.
