Are you ready for some lawmakin’, Shelby County? It’s Tuesday, Jan. 14, and the 114th Tennessee General Assembly convenes today. We’ve got a preview of what you can expect this session.

It’s also a big day for the Memphis-Shelby County Schools board, which meets in two committee sessions to discuss the proposed termination of Superintendent Marie Feagins and her response to claims that she mishandled finances. But don’t expect any drastic action: These are non-voting meetings.

And finally, Downtown’s Center City Revenue Finance Corp. will consider a 20-year payment-in-lieu-of-taxes deal for The Cooper, a mixed-use project planned for the corner of Central Avenue and Cooper Street in Midtown. If approved, it’ll be the first 20-year PILOT granted since the Downtown Memphis Commission reversed its tax-incentive policy last month.

Back to Feagins: She has widespread public support, despite calls for her termination from some MSCS board members. But the changes she made to the district in her first months as superintendent haven’t sat well with some principals. Documents obtained by The Daily Memphian show that school leaders have lodged about 16 different complaints through the district’s principal association, including changes in access to student textbooks, slowdowns in contract approvals and issues around work-life balance.

Meanwhile, the Shelby County Commission approved a resolution Monday that expresses “no confidence” in the MSCS board over their attempts to fire Feagins. Members had discussed scrapping that resolution in a committee meeting last week, in favor of a “governance plan” to get the school board and superintendent to work together. But the resolution approved Monday combined both.
