NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The Orleans Parish School Board has selected NOLA Public Schools’ next superintendent.

In a meeting held Wednesday, April 2, officials with the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education held their final vote.

On Tuesday, April, 1, the finalists, interim Superintendent Dr. Fateama Fulmore and Dr. Sharon Latten-Clark, participated in a public engagement to address their plans for the future of the school system.

“I come to you as a person who has been preparing for this moment every step of my life,” said Fulmore.

“I am part of New Orleans. I am the community and I understand the community. I also understand what our schools need because I live in our community and so I’m not going anywhere,” said Clark.

In a 5-2 vote, the board selected Fulmore to serve as the new superintendent.

She steps into the position months after former Superintendent Dr. Avis Williams resigned from the role.
