The search for Atlanta Public Schools’ next superintendent is moving closer to its conclusion, with two meetings planned this week to narrow down candidates.

The Superintendent Search Committee scheduled a Tuesday meeting in which search firms BoardWalk Consulting and Diversified Search will provide an update on their progress.

The Atlanta Board of Education will then meet Wednesday to review the search process, with a new superintendent expected to be hired early next year.
