McAlester, Okla. - The McAlester school board voted unanimously to fire Superintendent Marsha Gore Saturday night.

The McAlester News Capital reports the four to zero vote came just after 6 Saturday evening.

The News Capital reports Gore's pay is now cut off following her dismissal. The hearing for Skip was rescheduled to Friday the 12th at 3 in the afternoon.
