Memphis-Shelby County Schools (MSCS) voted to fight a state takeover by suing the state, but Governor Bill Lee signed legislation hours later that blocks the school board from using taxpayer funds to challenge state accountability measures. The intervention plan, which would install an oversight board to control staffing and leadership decisions, targets districts based on attendance, reading, and math scores, and "inconsistent leadership." Senator Brent Taylor announced the signing of the bill, which prevents MSCS from using public dollars to sue the state.
