The state takeover of Memphis-Shelby County Schools will remain paused until at least December as a local lawsuit plays out . Shelby County Chancery Judge JoeDae L. Jenkins did not rule Tuesday on state leaders’ requests to dismiss the district’s lawsuit and dissolve a temporary block of the takeover board that he first issued three weeks ago. That local pause happened only days after a federal judge allowed the oversight board to begin its work in mid-October. Jenkins directed both parties to prepare further arguments for a Dec. 2 hearing that will help determine if the local court has jurisdiction over the case. In its local lawsuit, MSCS is no longer alleging the state takeover law violates the Tennessee Constitution. The district argues that the takeover was implemented without evidence that the district qualified for it and that the takeover will irreparably harm district operations. During Tuesday’s hearing, MSCS representative Allan Wade said the district did not meet four of the six student achievement

Memphis parents complained of a school laptop shortage. Now MSCS wants to buy 25,000 more.

Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. Memphis-Shelby County Schools leaders on Tuesday proposed a mid-year purchase of 25,000 laptops for high schoolers after parents complained that a sudden change in district technology policy this year left teachers and families scrambling. Before the first day of classes in August, MSCS quietly ended a COVID-era policy that assigned each student an individual laptop or tablet to use for online class work and testing. Amid nationwide efforts to dial back classroom technology and a new state law requiring clear technology policies for elementary school, district leaders said at the time that the decision was partially about being “more intentional” with digital resources. Chalkbeat Tennessee reported in early September that the last-minute laptop policy change hindered testing and lesson plans at White Station High School . The change took some teachers and parents by surprise and also raised concerns about students who could not bring their own devices from home. Many of the district’s laptops purchased during the pandemic are also aging out or
