County will maintain control of Germantown Elementary, Middle and High schools when Germantown begins operating its own school system.

Video from WREG-TV: The Germantown (Tenn.) Board of Aldermen has approved a deal with the Shelby County School District for use of school buildings in its new district. Germantown will take control of five school buildings, but the county will retain Germantown Elementary, Middle and High schools.
