LOCAL | Dr. Feagins Files Lawsuit Against Memphis-Shelby County Schools

A civil action lawsuit has been filed by former Memphis-Shelby County Schools Superintendent, Dr. Marie Feagins, against the school board for her contract termination.

Dr. Feagins accused the board in the document of holding private meetings to terminate her and infringing upon citizens’ rights.

The lawsuit seeks to have the termination vote annulled and requests that her court costs and attorney fees be paid by the defendants.

This all comes after the MSCS board’s contentious decision on January 21 to terminate her as superintendent, which ignited anger among many parents.
