Mayor Muriel Bowser has nominated Dr. Andria Wisler to serve on the Students in the Care of D.C. Coordinating Committee, representing a charter school local education agency. This nomination aligns with the Confirmation Act of 1978 and the Students in the Care of D.C. Coordinating Committee Act of 2018, filling a vacant seat with a term set to conclude on November 15, 2028. Dr. Wisler, who is currently the Executive Director of the Center for Social Justice Research, Teaching, and Service at Georgetown University, has a strong background in education and social justice, making her a suitable candidate for this role. The Mayor has requested the Council's prompt consideration of her nomination.
The resolution formally confirms Dr. Wisler's appointment to the committee, which aims to coordinate efforts for students in the care of the District of Columbia. It will take effect immediately upon adoption and requires copies to be sent to both the nominee and the Office of the Mayor. Dr. Wisler's extensive experience in community engagement, inclusive leadership, and her commitment to racial equity and social justice initiatives position her well to contribute effectively to the committee's mission. The legal review of the resolution has confirmed that the appointment is unobjectionable, allowing Dr. Wisler to bring her expertise to the committee.
