MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis-Shelby County Schools (MSCS) Board Superintendent Dr. Marie Feagins will have until Monday to submit her responses regarding allegations against her to the MSCS Board.
A spokesperson for the Board told FOX13 that both parties agreed for Dr. Feagins to submit her responses by January 6. Previously, Monday, January 3 was the deadline for her response.
The extension was at Dr. Feagins’ request, the Board spokesperson said.
This comes after the MSCS Board abruptly announced and held a special meeting to discuss terminating Dr. Feagins. That meeting ended with the Board voting to delay termination discussion until January.

During that meeting, members of the Board addressed several frustrations with Dr. Feagins, alleging that the superintendent misled the board about employees’ abuse of overtime, accepted a $45,000 donation without board approval, and missed deadlines to secure federal funding.
Feagins called the allegations meritless and said she did not have access to the resolution before it was read to her during the meeting.
The Board will review Feagins’ responses during a committee meeting on January 14.
