Atlanta school board members heard pitches Monday from two firms interested in conducting a search to replace Superintendent Beverly Hall, and indicated they plan to chose a winner Tuesday.

One firm, Iowa-based Ray and Associates Inc., is also conducting a superintendent's search in neighboring DeKalb County. The other firm is Illinois-based Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates.

System officials said three firms overall had been invited to make oral presentations to the board, but one declined. A fourth firm also bid but did not make the cut.
