Roughly a year-and-a-half after Joris Ray resigned amid scandal , the Memphis-Shelby County Schools Board of Education is poised to name the district’s next superintendent, John Klyce reports in this story .
On Feb. 9, its members are slated to come together in a public meeting, to discuss the three finalists and select one to be the district’s next leader. And they’ll do so after a stretch of events and interviews held on Thursday and Friday , which were meant to help guide the last leg of the decision-making process.
John’s story is full of details about the final public interviews the candidates went through this past week. And make sure to check back in this coming week as The CA will have comprehensive coverage when the new superintendent is named.
