    Memphis leaders decide to keep Ida B. Wells open despite school closure vote in February

    Memphis-Shelby County Schools will keep Ida B. Wells Academy open for at least one more year by relocating its students and staff to Norris Achievement Academy, despite a February vote to close the underenrolled school. The decision followed community support and concerns about the school's $6 million facility repair needs, though the district plans to close up to 10 schools by 2028.
