The Tulsa School Board will meet this evening where it is expected to move forward in the search for a replacement for Dr. Keith Ballard as the district's superintendent.
The board had narrowed the list to the top two, but last Friday Millard House II withdrew from consideration. That left Dr. Deborah Gist as the sole finalist.
Gist is a Tulsa native and a graduate of Tulsa Memorial High School. She is currently the Education Commissioner for Rhode Island.
The board will meet this evening and discuss the search. Dr. Ballard is retiring.
