Wayne Walters has been selected as Pittsburgh school district's superintendent.
Walters, 51, has served as the district's interim superintendent since October, reports The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
The school board is scheduled next week to approve a five-year contract for Walters.
Walters was appointed interim superintendent after Anthony Hamlet resigned amid fallout from a state ethics investigation.
He was the first principal of Barack Obama Academy of International Studies in Pittsburgh in 2009; in 2014, he became an assistant superintendent.
Pittsburgh, the second largest school district in Pennsylvania, has about 25,000 students.
