The Adams 14 school district will have a new superintendent this summer.
The board voted unanimously Friday to appoint Karla Loria, the sole finalist, as superintendent to start in July. The district must still negotiate a contract with Loria.
Loria, a native of Costa Rica, is currently the chief academic officer for the Clark County School District, in Las Vegas, Nevada, the fifth-largest district in the U.S.
Loria was initially one of two candidates named by the school board for the job. But shortly after a virtual community forum where the board interviewed both candidates in public, the second finalist stepped out of the running.
