MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The debate over whether the superintendent of Tennessee’s largest school district should remain on the job reached a boiling point last week as the MSCS school board and many in the community passionately discussed whether Dr. Marie Feagins should remain on the job or be terminated.
To the sound of boos and jeers, school board chair Joyce Dorse-Coleman leveled charges against Dr. Marie Feagins as she sat and listened to members, parents, teachers and community activists emotionally debate whether she should be terminated.

Well-known Memphis employment and labor attorney Alan Crone, the CEO of The Crone Law Firm, represents the embattled MSCS superintendent.
“I think she is very surprised about some of the accusations and mischaracterizations of of things that that happened, and you know, it’s hard not to take some of that personally,” Crone said. “I think she’s doing remarkably well and she’s continuing to work hard for the students, faculty staff, parents and teachers of the Memphis Shelby County school system.”
