Clay Bailey, a lifelong Memphian, has worked as a reporter in the city four decades. He concentrated on suburban coverage for the bulk of his career, except for a stint as sports editor of The Daily Memphian when it launched in September 2018. He now is suburban editor and also serves as a freelance sports writer for The Associated Press.

This week’s announcement that Collierville Schools will close its Virtual Academy at the end of the academic year indicates there are still problems to address before the district takes another run at the idea.
