Memphis-Shelby County Schools (MSCS) Superintendent Dr. Joris M. Ray has made additional key leadership transitions to help drive academic success. As part of a restructuring strategy to support Reimagining 901, significant personnel changes have been made in the Academics Department, Office of Schools and Leadership, and Strategic Operations. Furthermore, to ensure the District has the right leaders in position to support the safety of our employees and students, three new leaders have been named to the MSCS Safety and Security team. 

“I strongly believe that these transitions will help to accelerate and sustain student success,” said Superintendent Ray. “Therefore, we must complement the concepts within our strategic priorities by making strategic moves around how we approach hiring, training, and retaining the best in human capital to support the work.”

MSCS began restructuring its academic leadership teams last year in order to drive the District’s plan toward Reimagining 901. As District leaders began thinking about how to build an effective workforce to support the work of instruction, school and district level changes were considered.
