Angelica Ramsey, the superintendent of Midland school district, is the lone finalist to lead the Fort Worth school district.
Fort Worth ISD trustees voted unanimously at special board meeting Tuesday night.
Dr. Ramsey holds a Bachelor's Degree from the University of the Pacific, a Master's Degree from the University of Texas at El Paso, and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Liberty University.
She says she will work closely with teachers to make sure they stay in the profession.
In Texas, a 21-day waiting period will now begin, with final action expected to take place at a board meeting in September.
