Memphis City Schools Beat Blog

Kriner Cash has put all of his eggs in the MCS basket.

Cash, who was selected last night as the new superintendent of Memphis City Schools, withdrew today from the superintendent races in Cincinnati and Waltham, Mass. He was a finalist for the top schools job in both places and had been scheduled to interview in Cincinnati this evening.

Cash said he's already working with MCS officials on negotiating his contract and doesn't expect any major obstacles to getting one signed and having him in the superintendent seat by July 1.
