Unified school district likely to be subdivided

Submitted by Kym Clark on Monday, February 20th, 3:14 pm

MEMPHIS, TN- (WMC-TV) – There are still, apparently, many details to be worked out by the people in charge of reinventing education, but it seems there's a clearer picture of what a unified school district might look like.

And that district isn't likely to be a single, super-district.

A recent Commercial Appeal headline reads "Unified Memphis-Shelby County schools to split into 6 sub-districts."

The newspaper claims the Transition Planning Commission, the group in charge or merging the Memphis and Shelby County districts, will soon approve and recommend one of two plans, both of which call for dividing the 150,000 students into six decision making sub-districts.

Two of those districts would be in the current Shelby County system and the other four would be in the city and each would have varying degrees of local autonomy.
