A federal judge appears poised to allow the state takeover of Memphis schools to move forward as soon as the oversight board says it’s ready to seize control of Tennessee’s largest school district. U.S. District Court Judge Waverly Crenshaw filed an order Monday indicating that he will soon remove a temporary block on the state-appointed board after months of delay . That came days after the first hearing on Memphis-Shelby County Schools’ lawsuit against the state takeover, where Crenshaw said he never intended the block to be long term. Crenshaw ordered the oversight board chair to notify the court under oath once the board is “ready, willing, and able” to begin its work, a step that could allow the politically appointed board to assume control of the district within days. Oversight board Chair Billy Orgel did not respond to Chalkbeat’s request for comment on whether or when he would file a statement of readiness with the federal court. Chalkbeat also reached out to the

A state oversight board appointed to take over Memphis schools may soon take charge of Tennessee’s largest school district. U.S. District Court Judge Waverly Crenshaw said he is prepared to dissolve his order blocking the board from taking control of Memphis-Shelby County Schools. Crenshaw made the comment during a court hearing Friday in which he closely questioned attorneys for the Memphis-Shelby County school board. “Whenever the oversight board is ready to do business, I’m going to dissolve my order,” Crenshaw said. Crenshaw also sided with Tennessee attorneys on a motion to dismiss Gov. Bill Lee, Education Commissioner Lizette Reynolds, and legislative leaders as defendants in the pending lawsuit. After a summer of uncertainty over whether and when the state takeover would move forward, Friday’s hearing suggested the oversight board could soon begin exercising its authority while leaving questions about how the takeover will proceed. The takeover was established under a new state law that created a nine-person politically appointed oversight board and was scheduled
