 2008/01/16 - Mayors Meeting with Governor Bredesen Postponed

 

OFFICE OF THE MAYOR OF SHELBY COUNTY GOVERNMENT
160 North Main Street, Memphis, TN 38103

For Immediate Release:
Wednesday, January 16, 2008		  
 


 Mayors Meeting with Governor Bredesen Postponed

Memphis, TN. -  The meeting between Governor Phil Bredesen, Shelby County Mayor A C Wharton and City of Memphis Mayor Willie W. Herenton, scheduled for Thursday, January 17, 2008, to discuss Memphis and Shelby County schools has been postponed.  The Mayors feel that more research and consultation must take place prior to the meeting so that the governor may be presented with the best possible solutions to help our school systems.   Due diligence and community support is important to this process.

"Let the community be assured that all stakeholders will be involved in this process to determine what is best for our school system.  These stakeholders will include city, county and state government and educational officials, as well as community leaders.  The goal of my proposal regarding the school systems is to empower government to take a more active role in charting the path of public education in Memphis and Shelby County," Herenton said.
