The Memphis-Shelby County Schools board is rebooting its superintendent search, with plans to solicit community input, invite new candidates, and select a leader in early 2024.
Toni Williams, interim head of Memphis-Shelby County Schools, will have the chance to lead for another year, but dropped out as a candidate for superintendent.
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.
MSCS leaders say they want to have a superintendent hired by June 1, but some community members fear if community input is not taken into account the right person will not be chosen for the job by then
