BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — A final candidate in the search for a new East Baton Rouge Parish Schools Superintendent has withdrawn.

In a letter sent to the LSU Lab School community, Kevin George said that he chose to withdraw from the selection process.

“I have decided to withdraw my name from the consideration for the position and remain at the best school in the United States,” said George.
