MEMPHIS, Tenn. — It has been a challenging first six months on the job for school Superintendent Dr. Marie Feagins, who faced a quarterly report presentation this week. But there were some emotional moments during a school board meeting Tuesday night, when a board member asked Feagins what she was most proud of in her tenure. "People, leaders who keep showing up every day committed to something they can't see," she responded. "Doing this work, I didn't do it for thanks or for applause when certainly you can't get across what's happening behind closed doors, the unseen things. Feagins is facing an upcoming performance evaluation. Camalyn Turner, the woman hired as her Special Assistant suddenly resigned last week.
