Tennessee Speaker of the House Cameron Sexton, R-Crossville, has selected his second and final appointee to the state’s Memphis-Shelby County Schools takeover board, completing the body. The Daily Memphian reports that he named Karen Vogelsang, a former Memphis elementary school teacher and Tennessee Teacher of the Year, to the board. The first meeting of the new board is set for Thursday in Nashville. The city and the previous school board previously said they would sue over the takeover legislation.
