State Superintendent of Education Dr. Antoinette Mitchell Confirmation Resolution of 2025
This resolution confirms Mayor Muriel Bowser's appointment of Dr. Antoinette Mitchell as the District of Columbia's State Superintendent of Education for a four-year term. It directly affects the Council of the District of Columbia, requiring them to formally approve the appointment under established procedures (D.C. Law 13-176 and the Confirmation Act of 1978). The resolution follows standard confirmation protocols - stating the nominee's details, confirming her appointment, and directing the Council to transmit the resolution to the nominee and Mayor's office upon adoption. As a procedural resolution, it does not change policies or laws but finalizes a leadership appointment for the District's education office.
