School board members in Atlanta confirmed as their new superintendent the woman who now leads schools in Alabama’s largest city.
Birmingham Superintendent Lisa Herring was approved on Monday, and will earn a $1,400 a day as a consultant until she takes over July 1, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The board voted 8-1 in her favor after the required 14-day pause. The 47-year-old Herring agreed to a three-year contract in Atlanta.
She will replace Meria Carstarphen, who won plaudits for improving academic performance and morale in the 51,000-student Atlanta system after a cheating scandal.
Herring will make $320,000 a year in salary, plus $2,000 a month for expenses.
