Memphis City Schools Beat Blog

Much is being said and written these days about Kriner Cash and the Memphis Board of Education's decision to pick him as superintendent.

The Tri-State Defender's Tony Nichelson wrote a column saying Memphis showed a lack of class during the superintendent search and needs to support Dr. Cash now that he's been appointed.

The Commercial Appeal and most of the local TV stations have polls asking if the board made the right choice.

More have voted for than against Cash. You can take our poll here: http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2008/jun/12/cash-already-rolls-up-sleeves/

And Mediaverse noted (as The CA did) that Cash was pretty clear Tuesday night he wasn't going to Cincinnati, but broadcast outlets didn't portray it that way on their 10 p.m. newscasts. http://mediaverse-memphis.blogspot.com/2008/06/on-memphis-city-schools-cash-in-hand.html
