As the parent of African-American kids, this is what I want from Memphis’ next superintendent
Special to The Daily Memphian
Keishana Barnes
Keishana Barnes lives in Memphis with her husband and three children. She serves as PTO co-president at her children’s school, Treadwell Elementary School, and is pursuing a doctorate in educational psychology and research at the University of Memphis.
The new superintendent will surely proclaim that under their leadership, our city will provide an equally excellent education for all its children. However, this person should also appreciate that in declaring such a goal, they will be trying to do something that has not previously been done.
