MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The debate over whether the superintendent of Tennessee's largest school district should remain on the job reached a boiling point last week as the MSCS school board and many in the community passionately discussed whether Dr. Marie Feagins should remain on the job or be terminated. To the sound of boos and jeers, school board chair Joyce Dorse-Coleman leveled charges against Dr. Marie Feagins as she sat and listened to members, parents, teachers and community activists emotionally debate whether she should be terminated. ‘Tired of all the bull crap’: MSCS Board split on delaying superintendent’s contract vote Well-known Memphis employment and labor attorney Alan Crone, the CEO of The Crone Law Firm, represents the embattled MSCS superintendent. "I think she is very surprised about some of the accusations and mischaracterizations of of things that that happened, and you know, it's hard not to take some of that personally," Crone said. "I think she's doing remarkably well and she's continuing to work hard for the students, faculty staff, parents and teachers of the Memphis Shelby County school system." During the board meeting, a resolution was presented outlining three accusations of misconduct against the superintendent. The resolution states Dr. Feagins had misled the board when she said the district had paid $1 million for overtime wages for time not worked. It also says she accepted a donation of $45,000 dollars without MSCS board approval and that she allegedly squandered a $300,000 contract that would have benefited homeless students and their families. MSCS donation among issues that led to planned action against Feagins Crone calls the accusations weak. "Just suffice it to say that all of the noted basis for her for-cause termination don't rise to that level," Crone said. Last week, the accusations left school board members divided over their support for Dr. Feagins. "At this point, we are tired of fibs, we are tired of lying to us, we are tired of all the bull crap that is going on," board member Towanna Murphy said at the meeting. "Then she comes forward and makes it look like she's doing the right thing and it's not the right thing because children are being hurt in the process of this." Should the school board proceed with terminating Dr. Feagins' contract, taxpayers might have to cough up a $487-thousand dollar payout and face a potential lawsuit. "I hope and pray for everybody's sake, that we work something out, and that vote is passed over. If not, we'll deal with it," Crone said. ‘Put down like a dog’: TN Representative calls out problematic Facebook comment The MSCS school board is expected to vote on the future of Dr. Feagins on Jan. 14 of next year.
