Judge to hear arguments on Memphis schools takeover lawsuit
A federal judge will hear arguments Oct. 2 on whether or not the state oversight board can get to work while a lawsuit over the takeover of Memphis-Shelby County Schools is underway.

Bill Lee and members of the oversight board, from interfering with or terminating any MSCS leadership without legal cause while the case is ongoing. Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw, Jr. in Nashville will hear arguments on these topics on Oct. 2.

Who gets to control Memphis schools while a federal lawsuit over Tennessee’s new school takeover law plays out in court? That will be the question at the heart of a federal hearing next week in the ongoing Memphis takeover battle. A federal judge has scheduled oral arguments on Oct. 2 to determine whether to allow a state-appointed oversight board to begin its work or let the local school board to retain control while the lawsuit plays out. Nine oversight board members, appointed by top Tennessee Republicans in June, were set to seize control of Memphis-Shelby County Schools on July 1.
