Memphis School Board Cites Dated Study in Top Urban School District Claim

Good evening. This week we're taking a closer look at a claim made by the Memphis-Shelby County School Board.

It released a statement touting a top national ranking to push back against recent efforts for state intervention. We checked out the claim and found the study board members referenced actually came out in 2021.

Its relevance today is questionable, as it involves data from 2018 and earlier.
