The Las Vegas school board will not expand its superintendent search to include more candidates but will decide between two finalists. The decision will be made at the board's 5:30 p.m. meeting on Wednesday.

Dallas Superintendent Michael Hinojosa is competing against Coloradoeducation commissioner Dwight D. Jones for the post.

Two members of the board also will conduct site visits in the finalists' home states, possibly beginning as early as Monday. They'll likely meet with Dallas school trustees and members of the community.
