Sign up for Chalkbeat Tennessee’s free newsletter to keep up with statewide education policy and Memphis-Shelby County Schools.Tennessee Republicans have passed an unprecedented intervention of the Memphis-Shelby County school system that gives political appointees sweeping authority over the locally elected school board and the state’s largest school district. The appointed oversight board will have four years to address what Republicans argue is untenable academic underperformance and administrative instability in the district, which serves more than 100,000 students.The new law gives the oversight board, which could be appointed at any time and must convene for the first time before July, broad latitude to set performance metrics for the district. It could also control everything from firing and hiring a superintendent to textbooks and classroom curriculum. The new body would have final say over the district’s $1.7 billion budget and major decisions like school closures and zoning.Tennessee Senate and House Republicans voted on the measure Wednesday. Gov. Bill Lee must sign the legislation into law before oversight board members can be appointed.A Memphis school board member on Tuesday called the law “racist” because Tennessee Republicans, all of whom are white, will seize control from the locally elected school board in a majority Black and Democratic county. The school board is considering its legal options, though Memphis Republicans pushed a new law to block school districts from funding lawsuits against accountability measures. Takeover advocates argue intervention is needed to move the needle on Memphis test scores. Last year, more than 75% of Memphis students failed to achieve proficiency in reading and math. But the district earned the highest possible score in academic growth, or student improvement on state tests, for the fourth year in a row. Democrats argue academic underperformance is affected by systemic socioeconomic realities of MSCS students and the whiplash of district changes over the years, like the failed Achievement School District enforced by the state. Not all Memphians are opposed to an oversight board after years of academic underperformance and leadership instability, which some say came to head after the local school board suddenly fired former Superintendent Marie Feagins in January 2025. There have been four MSCS superintendents in the last five years.Though Memphis takeover advocates say the new law is aimed squarely at MSCS, it could affect other Tennessee school districts down the line. The law will apply to any schools that meet four of six criteria: academic underperformance, chronic absenteeism, D or F school grades, and priority school status, financial mismanagement as determined by the Tennessee education commissioner, and leadership instability. Officials from the Tennessee Department of Education this week testified 80% of Tennessee schools already meet two of the academic underperformance standards, with less than 50% of students scoring proficient or higher on state English and math tests. In addition to MSCS, six other school districts meet three out of the six criteria, including two school districts operated by the state. .subtext-iframe{max-width:540px;}iframe#subtext_embed{width:1px;min-width:100%;min-height:256px;}fetch("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alpha-group/iframe-resizer/master/js/iframeResizer.min.js").then(function(r){return r.text();}).then(function(t){return new Function(t)();}).then(function(){iFrameResize({heightCalculationMethod:"lowestElement"},"#subtext_embed");});“This bill is not about any one district, any one city or county,” Memphis Republican Rep. Mark White, the bill sponsor, said. “It’s an important component in our statewide accountability framework that applies uniformly to every local education agency in the state of Tennessee.”For now, only MSCS meets the leadership instability and financial mismanagement criteria, in large part due to an ongoing state-funded audit that hasn’t yet been completed. A legal challenge of the bill will likely hinge in part on these provisions. House Democrats on Wednesday argued the targeted legislation violates the Tennessee Constitution. “While this bill is written like it applies broadly, in fact it narrows and narrows until it lands on Memphis-Shelby County schools. It is targeted application,” Memphis Democratic Rep. Antonio Parkinson said. Parkinson proposed a pared-back advisory board that would maintain local governance while providing an accountability structure, though it was voted down by Republicans. Parkinson called the politically appointed oversight board “complete unchecked power.”Before the vote Wednesday night, MSCS General Counsel Justin Bailey said the district was waiting for a final bill decision to move forward with a lawsuit. Bailey said the law that prevents the district from using its own funds to legally challenge state-imposed accountability measures doesn’t clearly define “accountability” — so the parameters it applies to are unclear.

Adrienne Benavidez, an Adams County Democrat, said a constituent in her district brought the idea to her. Current law only prohibits a person who has been convicted of a sexual offense against a child from running for school board. Benavidez said the law should be more restrictive.Benavidez said during a Senate Education Committee hearing on Wednesday that school board members are responsible for the education, health, safety, and welfare of children. But their job is to also protect children and set good examples for them, she said. The disqualifying convictions listed by Senate Bill 166 include murder, kidnapping, aggravated robbery, and harm against an at-risk adult or juvenile. The bill also says convictions for felony drug offenses such as selling, manufacturing, or dispensing a controlled substance would also bar an individual from running. The bill does say these exclusions would only apply if a person was convicted as an adult.The bill originally included a lifelong prohibition from running for office for those offenses, but Benavidez and other sponsors amended the bill to allow candidates to run 10 years after they’ve completed their sentence.“That is basically a recognition that people, even though they did something at some point, if they’ve made amends through this process, they still should be able to participate civically in our communities,” Benavidez said.The bill passed the committee with a 4-3 party-line vote. Assistant Minority Leader Sen. Lisa Frizell, a Castle Rock Republican, said she would have voted yes on the bill until lawmakers adopted the amendment from Benavidez and others.Other bill sponsors include Democrats Sen. Cathy Kipp of Fort Collins and Rep. Lori Goldstein of Westminster. The bill now will be heard by the full Senate and, if passed, will head to the House for consideration.Jason Gonzales is a reporter covering higher education and the Colorado legislature.

ARGIA aldizkariak zabaldutako ikerketa mardulak argi utzi du oldarraldia Euskal Herri euskaldunaren kontrako estrategia politiko zabalago baten parte besterik ez dela, eragin zuzena EAEn soilik badu ere. Ipar Euskal Herrian eta Nafarroan ere beren oldarraldi partikularrei aurre egin behar diete, egunero ikusten dugun moduan. Hori guztia kontuan izanik, gure aurkako eraso judizial, politiko zein mediatikoaren aurrean, nolako jarrera eta jokabidea izan behar dugu euskaldunok? Hona hemen ikuspegi nazionaletik jorra daitezkeen zazpi bide. Lehena, borroka ideologikoan sakontzea. Gure diskurtso eta baita dinamikan ere, euskararen normalizazioaren aurkako oldarraldiak (pluralean) Euskal Herriaren aurkako estrategia global zabalago baten atal gisa azaltzea, aztertzea, gizarteratzea eta etengabe erantzutea. Euskal Herriaren aldeko eragile sozial, sindikal eta politiko guztioi, bakoitzak bere ezaugarriei eta esparru funtzional zein geografikoei uko egin gabe, norabide bateratu horretan batera jotzea dagokigu.  Euskararen aldeko politika nazional bakarra garatu behar dugu, mailakatua eta koordinatua zazpi herrialdeetan, baina bakarra. Oraindik ez dugu horrelakorik. Bigarrena, masa mobilizazioan indarra jartzea. Arlo instituzionalean eta defentsa juridikoan egin beharreko lanak baztertu gabe, euskararen normalizazioaren aldeko borrokaren motor nagusia arlo instituzional eta juridiko mugatu eta mugatzailetik atera eta kale mobilizazioan jartzea dagokigu, Ipar Euskal Herrian daramaten borroka eredutzat hartuz. Korrikak horretarako aukera oparoa eskaintzen digu. Konfrontazioan oinarritutako euskararen aldeko presio soziala berpizteari lehentasun osoa ematea da helburua. Lan horretan funtsezko ekarpena eta betekizuna izan dezake, besteak beste, denon artean indartu behar dugun EHE ekintza talde aldarrikatzaile nazionalak.    Euskararen aldeko politika nazional bakarra garatu behar dugu, mailakatua eta koordinatua zazpi herrialdeetan, baina bakarra Hirugarrena, euskaldunon ahalduntzerako bilguneak osatzea. Kontseiluak Bilboko Miribillako “Pizkundean” zabaldutako norabidea jarraituz, egitura sozial, sindikal, ekonomiko, politiko eta administratibo bakoitzean eta guztietan, euskaltzaleon sare eta ekintza taldeak osatu behar ditugu. Euskaldunok antolatu eta ahaldundu behar dugu lan egiten dugun eta bizi garen toki guztietan. Betekizun horretan funtsezko ekarpena izan dezakete dagoeneko osaturik dauden esparru zehatzetako euskara taldeek edo sareek, hala nola Kontseiluak, Gazte Euskaltzaleen Sareak edota herriz herri Korrika zein Euskaraldia bultzatzeko antolatzen diren auzo zein herri taldeek.    Laugarrena, desobedientzia bidea jorratzea. Administrazio esparruan euskalduntze prozesuaren kaltetan eragin zuzena edo zeharkakoa duten lege aginduak ez betetzea. Hizkuntza Eskakizunen edota Udal Euskaldunen Mankomunitateen aurkako erasoen aurrean, legezkoak badira ere, ez betetzea eta aurrera egitea. Arnasgune funtzional zein territorialen aurkako erasoen aurrean, bere  garaian intsumisioarekin egin zen moduan, desobeditzea da bidea. Hizkuntza mailako “Pase Forala” aplikatzea dagokigu Euskal Herri osoan eta epaiketarako bidea mobilizazio sozialerako tresna bihurtzea. Indar politikoen funtsezko betebeharra izango da Legebiltzar guztietan, Europan, estatuetan eta baita gure lurraldekoetan ere, euskararen ofizialtasuna jasoko luketen lege berriak proposatzea eta beraiek zuzentzen duten arlo instituzionaletan aplikatzea. Bosgarrena, lan munduaren euskalduntzea bultzatzea. Horretarako, euskararen normalizazioa Lan Hitzarmen guztien atal bihurtu behar dugu, arlo publikoan zein pribatuan, eta negoziazio kolektiborako gai nagusietako bat izatea lortu. Euskararen aldeko borroka langile mugimenduaren borrokaren agendan sartu behar dugu, feminismoa ala ekologia sartu diren neurri berean. Ezin dugu onartu euskararen atalik ez duen Lan Hitzarmenik Euskal Herrian. Horrekin batera,  administrazioarekin azpikontrata moduan aritzen diren gero eta enpresa gehiagorekin izenpetzen diren kontratu guztien atzean dauden Baldintza Pleguetan euskararen atala ere txertatzea ezinbestekoa da; hizkuntza klausulak sortzea eta txertatzea, alegia. Betekizun horretan funtsezko ekarpena egin dezake euskal sindikalgintzak, lan hori bideratuz eta euskararen kontrako jarrera duten sindikatu espainol zein frantsesekin harremanak hautsiz. Seigarrena, euskararen ezagutzaren doakotasuna eta unibertsalizazioa bultzatzea. Hezkuntza sistema osoak, haur, gazte eta helduen doako euskalduntze alfabetatzea bermatu behar du Euskal Herri osoan, AEKk aldarrikatzen duen moduan. Belaunaldi zahar eta berrien euskalduntzea da euskararen erabilera hazteko oinarria. Euskara ez dakienak, euskara ez erabiltzeaz gain, euskaldunek ere euskaraz egiteko dugun eskubidea zapuzten baitigu. Murgiltze eredua hezkuntza sare osoan eta maila guztietan orokortu behar dugu; horretarako, hezkuntza komunitate osoan lan iraunkorra bideratuz, ikasle, irakasle, guraso eta hezkuntzako langileen artean. Lan horretan funtsezkoa izango da, besteak beste, ikasle mugimenduen indarra eta bizitasuna.       Zazpigarrena, kultura, kontsumo eta komunikazio esparruak euskalduntzea. Teknologia berriek ematen dituzten aukerak eta arriskuak kontuan izanik, aurrera egitea. Euskal esparru komunikatibo eta kultural osoa eraldaketa prozesu betean murgildu behar dugu, hedabideak, sare sozialak, teknologia berriak eta kulturgintza, bere forma ezberdinetan, euskararen aldeko prozesua sustatzeko. Ez dago berezko kulturarik ez duen berezko hizkuntzarik. Eta, horrekin batera, euskarazko kultur eta komunikazio produktuen sortzaileak eta kontsumitzaileak indartzeko plan nazionala martxan jarri behar dugu. Eta hori guztia bideragarria izango da, baldin eta euskaldunok borroka hori indartzeko konpromiso pertsonala hartzen badugu. Ez dago eraldaketa pertsonaletik abiatzen ez den prozesu iraultzailerik. Hizkuntza politika burujabe baten alde, harrokeriaz beteriko erasoari harrotasunez erantzun behar diogu. Euskalduna naiz eta harro nago! Joseba Alvarez, BAMeko kidea
