Feagins Out in Memphis

Board votes to fire Director of Schools

Less than one year after starting her work as Director of Schools in Memphis-Shelby County, Marie Feagins has been fired.

Chalkbeat reports that by a 6-3 vote, the school board opted to terminate Feagins’ contract.

Marie Feagins was fired Tuesday as superintendent of Memphis-Shelby County Schools, setting the district back to where it has been repeatedly in recent years: searching for leadership.

A bitterly divided school board voted 6-3 to oust Feagins less than 10 months into her tenure, approving a resolution that cited allegations of professional misconduct and poor leadership.
