The Orleans Parish School Board (OPSB) unanimously voted today to offer the NOLA Public Schools’ (NOLA-PS) superintendency to Selma City School Superintendent Dr. Avis Williams, both systems announced today.
“The board’s choice is historic: It marks the first time in the 181 years of public education in New Orleans that a woman was chosen to serve as the permanent superintendent for the District,” the release from OPSB states.
