The Fresno Unified Board of Education says it will be announcing the finalist at their next meeting, which will take place around 6 p.m. on Wednesday.
The board has been working to replace the former superintendent, Bob Nelson, after he left the position last Spring and took a position at Fresno State.
In February, the board hired a firm to help with the search, costing the district just over $34,000.
After the meeting, district officials will hold a press conference to explain the next steps in the transition process.
