place of Heath Morrison, who is departing to lead
Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools in North Carolina. The selection is
pending contract negotiations.
Martinez topped a field of five finalists that included two
internal candidates and two administrators from outside Nevada.
He was also a finalist for a superintendent job in Philadelphia.
