MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Shelby County Commission plans a no-confidence vote against the Memphis Shelby County School Board over their effort to remove the school superintendent. County Commissioner Amber Mills announced the move in an interview with Alex Coleman on Friday, saying it was the best way the county could show support for keeping Dr. Marie Feagins as the district's superintendent. Mills said there is no legal option to recall school board members. "The next best thing to do for the constituents and people of Shelby County, to make the school board aware, is to have a vote of no confidence on the Shelby County Commission and to support Dr. Feagins," she said. Memphis Shelby School Board members faced vocal opposition from a sometimes angry parents, teachers and some local officials in a packed special called meeting on Dec. 17, when they prepared for a vote to terminate the contract with Feagins. MSCS board postpones vote on Feagins’ future until January That vote was ultimately postponed until later this month, though the board's chair recently said she hasn't changed her mind on terminating Feagins. The board's resolution outlined three accusations of misconduct against Feagins, claiming she misled the board when she said the district paid $1 million dollars for overtime wages for time not worked. It also alleged she accepted a donation without board approval and accused her of squandering a contract that would have helped homeless students. Her attorney, Alan Crone, says the board has to prove Feagins engaged in misconduct. Otherwise they have to pay her $487,000 to buy her out of her contract. "What this really is about is avoiding paying her a buy out of her contract. If they have five votes, they can fire her," said Crone, who called the board's accusations "weak and vague." He says he's prepared to take the battle to court if necessary. Feagins was hired by the district last February after a search of more than a year. "They hired the right person. Dr. Feagins is the right person," Mills said. "She's doing the work. She's making the changes that need to be made. ... She is upsetting the apple cart that needs to be upset." Mills also plans to bring a moratorium on the money the county just approved for the construction of a new high school in Frayser. Shelby County Commission approves $34M for New Frayser school "We're legislators, we control the purse strings, and we've got to do our jobs," she said. Mills did not give a date when that vote would happen. Crone responded to Mills' announcement Friday, saying, "I think if the commission votes a no confidence vote, if I were on the school board, I would really think twice. That's the funding body. That's the body that gives them their money." Feagins will give a formal response to the board Monday. The school board is set to reconvene Jan. 14 in a committee meeting to consider their resolution and hear Feagins' response again and answer any questions. If the committee votes to move forward, an official vote on the contract could happen as soon as Jan. 21.
