Peer Power Foundation Leader Addresses Controversy Dow McVean, head of the Peer Power Foundation, has spoken out to clarify “misinformation” surrounding his name amid the recent firing of Dr. Marie Feagins by the Memphis-Shelby County School Board. Key Points: • Background: Feagins is suing the school board, alleging that Councilman JB Smiley conspired to get her fired following her feud with McVean. • Incident: Back in August, Feagins filed an order of protection against McVean, claiming he used profanity and followed her after learning MSCS would end its contract with Peer Power. • McVean’s Response: He apologized in an August 11 letter, expressing frustration over not being informed sooner about the program’s cancellation, which cost Peer Power over $700,000 in preparation expenses. • Clarification: McVean states he’s not involved in any lawsuits, has no ties to Councilman Smiley, and notes that Feagins later requested to dismiss the order of protection.
