The Omaha board is trying to replace John Mackiel, who retired in August after 15 years.

The Omaha School Board will vote tonight on who will run Nebraska's largest school district.

The Omaha board is trying to replace John Mackiel, who retired in August after 15 years. In April the board hired former Des Moines Superintendent Nancy Sebring, but she withdrew in June after sexually explicit emails sent to and from her work account became public.

The three finalists:

  • Superintendent Stephen Murley, of the Iowa City schools. Murley took over in Iowa City in 2010 after working in Wisconsin.
  • Carey Wright, chief academic officer for the District of Columbia Public Schools;
  • Mark Evans, Superintendent of Andover Public Schools in Kansas.
