Memphis schools oversight board seeks 'unicorn' as executive director

The Memphis-Shelby County Schools oversight board is looking for a seasoned, dynamic leader to fill its executive director position. The board 's personnel and leadership committee laid out its job description for its chief executive during a Nov. 12 committee meeting, establishing a long list of characteristics the ideal candidate would have for the "high-pressure and highly visible" role. The executive director would serve as the chief administrative officer of the oversight board, but the responsibilities the board would expect the director to hold are far-reaching. The director would manage day-to-day operations and lead the development of the board's strategic plan. The director would also act as a spokesperson for the board and serve as the liaison between the board and several other entities, including Memphis-Shelby County Schools, the Tennessee governor's office and the state legislature. The job description asks that the director has strong working relationships with the Tennessee Department of Education, state legislators and local leaders. A legal background or a strong knowledge of Tennessee education law is "highly appreciated," according to the job description. Additionally, the ideal candidate would have strong public-facing communication skills, financial acumen and a "demonstrated ability to navigate uncertainty," according to the description.

What ensued was a blistering stretch that saw the Tigers outscore Alabama 47-11 from the 7:37 mark in the second quarter to the 2:08 spot in the third quarter.
