District of ColumbiaPeople outside D.C. could serve on the Community Schools Task Force
People living outside D.C. could be appointed to the Community Schools Task Force after mayoral approval or a veto override and congressional review.
What it does
Community Schools Task Force appointees would not need to live in D.C. If approved and cleared through congressional review, this rule would take effect for 225 days.
Argument forPermitting appointments from outside D.C. could give the task force a wider choice of people with relevant school experience.
Argument againstAppointing nonresidents could reduce D.C. residents’ representation on a task force focused on their community schools.
More detail
Community Schools Task Force appointees would not have to live in D.C. The mayor must approve the measure, or the Council must override a veto. The rule would take effect after that approval and a 30-day congressional review. It would expire 225 days after taking effect.
