Marie Feagins outlines vision to transform MSCS
“Everything really is important, but what is important today? And then, how do today’s decisions impact tomorrow as well as the long term,” Memphis-Shelby County School Superintendent Marie Feagins said on WKNO-TV. “It is what we call in education ‘backwards planning.’ Where would we desire to be in 36 months, five years and then working backwards from there and making the decisions.” (Benjamin Naylor/The Daily Memphian file)
MSCS Superintendent Marie Feagins breaks down school closures and changes, including eliminating 600 vacant positions and reassigning those in other roles to decentralize the school system and refocus on what happens in the classroom.
