Interim MSCS Superintendent Toni Williams Withdraws from Superintendent Search

Toni Williams, the interim superintendent of the Memphis-Shelby County School District, will no longer be considered for the permanent superintendent position after signing a new contract. Despite calls from parents to remove her from the candidate pool, the school board voted to renew Williams' contract as interim superintendent for the current school year. The new contract maintains her salary and includes provisions for vacation days. Williams expressed her commitment to serving the board and the community, particularly as a positive role model for female students. The school district will continue its search for a permanent superintendent, with new finalists expected to be presented soon.
