TPS To Name Cloud Interim Athletic Director

Tulsa -

Tulsa Public Schools has announced that it will appoint an interim athletic director at Monday night's meeting.

The district announced this afternoon that, pending board approval, it will appoint Gil Cloud to the post on an interim basis, replacing Stephanie Springs, who resigned late last month.

Cloud is currently serving as president of Premier Collegiate Consulting, LLC, providing consulting services to colleges, universities and public schools. He previously served as athletic director at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah from 1994 to 2000.

"We are delighted that Gil has decided to join us on an interim basis as we begin the process of hiring for the full-time athletic director position," said Kevin Burr, associate superintendent of secondary schools. "Gil has a lengthy track record of success in both high school and college athletics, and will be a powerful asset to TPS as we focus on finding the right individual to take our athletic program into the future."

An advisory group was formed following Springs' resignation to help aide in the search for a permanent replacement.

Burr says the district has already received interest from at least a dozen highly-qualified candidates and expects to make a final recommendation for athletic director by May first.
