Williams will take over the position after Dr. Henderson Lewis held it for seven years.

Williams said her first official act will be to launch a 100-day plan designed to build a stronger future for Orleans Parish.

Williams also faces pressure from parents to reconsider charter school contracts and provide a successful education system for all students in New Orleans.
