The timeline for appointing a new superintendent in the Christina School District has been revised because of scheduling of site visits for each of the remaining two candidates.

Those two finalists are Marcia V. Lyles, deputy chancellor for Teaching and Learning in the New York City, Department of Education, and Freeman Williams, the interim superintendent in Christina.
It was announced initially that a decision on a new superintendent would be made on or before Tuesday. But the district's school board now plans a site visit in the Christina School District April 24 and a visit of the New York City Public School system April 27.

The board now plans to appoint a new superintendent on or before May 19.

Former Superintendent Lillian Lowery left to become Gov. Jack Markell's Education Secretary.
