The DeKalb Board of Education is poised to vote on the finalist to become the new superintendent of Georgia's third largest school district. The vote is expected to be held sometime on Monday, but a time wasn't set as of Thursday afternoon. The finalist, Cheryl Atkinson, 52, is the current superintendent of Lorain City Schools near Cleveland, Ohio, a system that has about 7,600 students, compared to DeKalb's 96,000 students. Two members of DeKalb's 9-member board oppose her, but she appears to have majority support.
