According to the Associated Press, the unanimous vote Monday by the state board of education will now have its executive committee interview search firms and bring a recommendation to the board. They set a committee meeting for Thursday.
The decision comes amid an attendance-tampering investigation by Ohio Auditor Dave Yost.
Yost launched the statewide probe after irregular enrollment and attendance practices were discovered in Toledo, Columbus, and some Cincinnati districts.
